My Project

My classroom serves 19 individuals, aged 3-5 years old, who all come from varying backgrounds and abilities. Each child in my class brings their own unique ideas and abilities that help make our classroom one big family. To better serve my students, I have hand-chosen some materials that will encourage their learning and development no matter which state of development they are in.

My student show up eager to learn more each day.

New materials excite them and help to make school a fun and safe environment. My project will provide learning materials that encourage growth in fine motor skills, science, math, literacy, and social-emotional development.
