My Students

This year, I am so excited to be opening the first special education preschool classroom within my school. Early childhood education is extraordinarily important for young children and this is even more true when considering our kiddos with disabilities and special needs.

Every child is capable of learning, despite whatever challenges they may face.

Children in my classroom often come from very difficult home environments and have already been through tremendous amounts of struggle in their short lives. It is my hope to provide them with a loving and enriching classroom to grow and develop to their fullest potential.

My Project

LEGO bricks and other building blocks have been an essential part of every early childhood classroom for many years. Students enjoy playing with LEGO bricks while they increase skills in logic, fine motor, gross motor, planning, creativity, cognitive development, and many other important skills. The bigger DUPLO LEGO blocks are more easily accessible to children with motor delays and other special needs while the classic sets allow for a greater challenge for little fingers.

LEGO bricks are some of the best toys young children can play with.

I would love to have a classroom where children can enjoy using their imaginations to build amazing things!
