My Project

My students are so special. They know that they are unique because they learn to share with their peers. They know they are special because they show empathy to their peers, when they clean up their classroom and they feel special when they listen to their teachers. They feel special when they share their special stories with their peers and with their teachers. They feel they are special when they draw their projects and a picture of their projects and share it with peers. My students feel special when they practiced sewing with plastic needles.

They will use these materials to learn writing their names and counting.

My students are so eager to learn about letters. They enjoy it, and they show a lot of interest in drawing and even writing the letters of their names at the writing table and the art table. My students are eager to learn to count and learn about addition and subtraction.
