My Students

My students are curious and adventurous preschoolers that come into the classroom with a thirst for knowledge! They are excited about learning new things through playful educational experiences. Since they range in age from three to five years old, they are always on the go!

My students come from hardworking families that want the best for their future.

They attend a full-day preschool program that supports their individual learning needs. My kids are amazing students that motivate me to come to work each day!

My Project

We recently started a new curriculum that uses various books to introduce and reinforce themes. It would be helpful to have these books accessible for our daily read aloud stories. These books would help inspire students to act out ideas throughout the various centers in the classroom.

"Books are the plane, and the train and the road They are the destination, and the journey They are home " -Quindlen.

"Tea Party Rules, Pizza at Sally's and At the Supermarket" are some of the books that would set the tone for imaginative play. Using various props to accompany these stories would give students the opportunity to explore concepts!
