My Students

I am opening a new classroom at our center this school year! My classroom consists of enthusiastic and curious young learners with active imaginations and kind hearts. Some of the children are English language learners while encountering their first classroom setting. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my students, focusing on literacy and language development. As a class, the foundation for learning is set through small group literacy, art, mathematics, and science activities, while balancing the school day with social-emotional problem-solving and self-help practices. Thank you for your contributions and kindness towards our class!

My Project

Our children are creative storytellers and artists who enjoy an opportunity to manipulate materials and create with their hands. As young learners, they are continuing to build their fine motor development and self-help skills through prop play and manipulatives. The tempera paint cakes, diverse paintbrushes, and animal craft paper will be put to great use.

These materials will provide the children with opportunities to paint, collage, and practice zipping, buttoning, and more in a way that inspires their natural curiosity.

The nesting dolls with built-in self-help skills are an exciting find that I'm sure the children will love. New materials build their interest and motivation to explore and grow.
