My Project

Thank you so much for helping me create a learning environment for students to thrive. I will be moving to Pre K this year and one of my goals is to create a learning environment that is full of stem activities for students to explore and create! I believe if we create learning environments that students can explore, it will build that love of learning. I also believe we forget what it’s like to be 4 or 5 and seeing the world through their eyes! Yes, all things reading and math are important, but letting students explore with creative supplies opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
