My Project

My students are a group of energetic, loving, and curious preschool children. They range in age from three to five years old. As their teacher, it is my job to make sure they are having fun while providing them with opportunities so they can grow and develop physically, socially, and mentally.

By supporting my project you are helping me get the art materials and manipulatives needed to teach my preschoolers about diversity and other cultures and ethnicities.

Some of the art materials requested in this project include multicultural paints, paper, paper cutouts, and colored pencils. Some of the manipulatives requested in this project include culturally diverse magnetic blocks and multicultural playdough. As the children are creating with the art materials and exploring the manipulatives we will be having conversations about similarities and differences in people. Thank you for supporting my project and allowing me to be able to create a culturally diverse learning environment for my preschoolers.
