My Project

My students are like little sponges ready to soak up anything. They love to socialize and share what they have learned! My students are so excited to learn when it is fun an engaging The pandemic has affected them with the use of technology and not allowing them to have the opportunity to socialize and learn with other students.

I am requesting language, math and literacy resources to help my energetic learners that engage with the world around them.

My Preschool students learn through touching, exploring and making connections in their environment with their peers. After Covid students were more into electronics while at home, and we want to bring them back into the joy of play based learning, through props, story kits, manipulatives and interactive play. We need a puppet stand, story kits and manipulatives! This will create their joy for learning in a classroom setting, outside of the electronic world! Learning through play allows preschoolers to grow in many ways they weren't able to during Covid.
