My Project

Dramatic play and art are ways for students to express themselves and be more confident in their abilities. I teach in a Title I Traditional Academy that has a developmental preschool on campus. My students range in age from 3-5 with varying abilities and levels.

These tools will enhance the learning environment and create a safe, creative, and motivational environment with which my students and staff can interact with each other and create a supportive classroom.

Allowing for creativity and self expression is just one of the many ways we build our students up.
