My Project

My PreK students are energetic and eager to come to school to learn. My classroom is at a magnet school in an urban district, where my students are provided with 100% free breakfast and lunch. My classroom makeup is a blend of general education, special education, and English Language Learners. The students in my class have a strong desire to learn new topics and grow as independent learners. I am always looking for ways to make my classroom as engaging and as exciting as possible through hands-on learning experiences.

My students love using sensory enriched activities; they gravitate towards finger squeezing eye captivating stations because it takes them into a fantasy world of endless possibilities.

With these supplies you can provide sensory fun with dinosaurs, ice cream scoops, st. Patrick fun, and more. The requested books would also provide my students with books about diversity and mindfulness.

I love watching my students' eyes light up when I switch over sensory stations with new exciting materials that they can explore with. The materials requested in this project will enhance their creativity, scientific inquiry skills, self soothing skills, and also enrich a love of literacy.
