Help me give my students dinosaurs for the classroom. Dinosaurs are always the favorite theme of the year, and with your help we can bring them to life while at school!
Our classroom supports preschoolers ages 3-5 with all abilities. I am grateful to be the teacher of two classes that attend our school program. Our community of learners includes learners with and without disabilities. We work on general development including gross and fine motor, communication, social skills, and cognitive skills. Students work together to learn how to communicate their ideas, build friendships, problem-solve, play, and attend to classroom activities.
Our students love coming to school.
One of my favorite things about our classes is how students learn to be proud of their achievements and feel safe enough to practice hard things. These students are resilient, persistent, and so engaging. It makes learning fun for everyone!
We are fortunate to have a classroom team that consists of me as the lead special education teacher and two wonderful paraprofessionals. We also work closely together with a speech-language pathologist, an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. Learning is structured, balanced between student-led, and adult-led activities, and inclusive.
The students are so loved and so deserving of high-quality learning.
My Project
Let's bring dinos to school! With these materials we will be able to expand our play skills, connect to our books, and learn with the prehistoric creatures.
Dinosaurs are our favorite.
Our learners know their names, we learn about fossils, time, and the environment with dinosaurs. With the magnifying glasses and items, we will be able to expand our science and sensory learning. The giant dinosaur toys can help our visual learners, and build play foundations for our earliest learners.
Dinosaurs help get our voices going, animate our play, and introduce our brains to cause/effect science topics. We will use these items for years to come!
