My Project

My pre-k classroom is an inclusion program with both special education and general education students. We learn through different play based centers that I change, typically biweekly, to explore various themes throughout the year. Last year, I created an amazing foundation and now want to focus on fine tuning everything. For example, our building center last year was amazing for our winter and animals in winter themes, but would be even better with the addition of the jumbo ice blocks. Every little bit helps as I love making leaning as fun and magical as possible. Thank you!
