My Project

These pretend play and manipulative items will help our students learn through play and experiences with peers. I plan to add the pretend play pieces to the dramatic play center and incorporate different themes!

My goals for this project are to help my students become comfortable socializing with their peers, expand their knowledge of the alphabet and numbers, and experience the world through play.

As a first year teacher, the resources I am able to provide the students are limited. I would love to give them more opportunities to learn hands-on and with things they are interested in!

My students are eager to learn and explore new things. Their innovative minds amaze me daily.
