My Students

Our school is an Early Learning Center that serves Pre-K through 2nd grade only. Many of the students on the campus are Exceptional Education Students, including my Pre-K students.

My Pre-K students need assistance communicating with others.

I am moving from 3rd grade to Pre-K, so I need a lot of new materials to help my new classroom.

My students will thrive with the use of multi-sensory approaches. They need an interactive classroom where they can learn using all of their senses.

My Project

My Pre-K ESE students are learning to think critically and develop their own style of learning.

My students LOVE puzzles.

The resources in this project will allow me to provide my students with a larger variety of puzzles. The magnetic shape sorter is a puzzle that not only develops their fine motor skills, but allows them to learn how to sort shapes. The crayon letter builder will allow me to work with my students one-on-one to learn how to read their CVC words.

Playing with items like puzzles in Pre-K is a developmentally appropriate task and I would love for my students to have access to these resources.
