Motivating My Pre-k Students Through Play

Help me give my students learn basic literacy and math skills through hands-on learning. Their love of tactile learning keeps them engaged and motivated in their work. These games provide an opportunity for students to also work together.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Supporting my students learning with basic math and literacy skills through play is an important part of their success. Learning through play is essential to learning and is an excellent way to start motivating them to develop their own learning and keep them engaged while working with others. These games and activities will enhance our classroom experience and will create new opportunities for them to grow and develop their skills and knowledge in math and literacy. Please consider supporting our students with our project to help our littlest but kindest students.
