My Students

Hello everyone! I am a proud, preschool, special education teacher in an inclusive setting, with a total of 21 students. Collaborating with the state preschool has helped my students grow. All of my students come from low-income backgrounds, are eager to learn, and have the right to equitable learning opportunities that helps them achieve their full potential.

My Project

Hello everyone, this project is extremely important because STEM is necessary to help teach the importance of making connections. It is necessary to introduce STEM in preschool to help the little ones better understand the world around them and be able to relate to it. These materials will help our students and make a different because it will introduce them to new concepts through activities and games. All of these materials will be used in our class. With these materials we will be able to add a more variety of activities to our STEM Center in our class. Most important, It will help our STEM activities come alive.
