One of the things my daughter has missed most since we started doing virtual school is hands-on centers. She loved them in pre-K and in first grade. In virtual public school, hands-on centers have been replaced with online games and learning activities. But first graders need hands-on things too, and her teacher has told me if we were in the classroom, she would be doing a lot of hands-on learning.
For others looking for ways to supplement their child’s knowledge by creating first grade centers or stations, I’ll update this post regularly throughout the 2020-2021 school year with the activities we add that work for us. I’ll note if they’re free centers or the price of them beside them.
