My Project

I teach preschool. Preschool is a lot of hands on theme related lessons. One of the themes is community. I feel this is a very important theme to teach. We all want to learn about the community we live in. Having a variety of materials and manipulatives is crucial in a preschool classroom. You need a large amount and variety for the various learning stations located in the classroom. Having the different community people and costumes for the students is a nice way for them to express themselves and use their imagination.
