My Students

My students are in pre-k and therefore, need a lot of hands-on activities, visuals, student-led projects, and social interaction to help them learn! They have a strong love for learning, and it shows every time their faces light up while exploring and learning something new! But most of all, I love that their creative minds are always thinking!

My Project

We know that children learn best through play! We want to fill our classroom with inviting and engaging toys that provide our students with excellent and purposeful opportunities to practice important skills.

The items selected in this project will provide fantastic learning opportunities in various learning centers throughout our early childhood classrooms!

These items would be used in our math, science, literacy, dramatic play, fine-motor and gross-motor learning centers!

Our adventurous 4-year olds will LOVE these new additions to our classrooms. They will have so much fun, they'll hardly notice their learning important skills along the way!
