My Project

This project includes resources for my students to engage with their learning environment through hands on materials.

One of our favorite stories is 5 Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree, but unfortunately we can only watch it on Youtube due to not having the hard copy.

We are trying to get 2 copies of the book and puppets (monkeys and crocodile) to go with them. This will help my 3 year old students with participating in dramatic play, counting, speaking more including using words from the story, and social-emotional development.

We are also looking to get sensory toy options to help our students be able to regulate their bodies throughout the day more independently with less struggle.
