My Project
For some students Pre-k is the very first step in their educational journey, and as an Educator I want to give them the opportunity to be a sponge and soak up all of the knowledge they will need to have a wonderful educational journey. I would like to start them off with resources that will have them excited about learning.
What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and willingness to grow.
Every day, they show up ready to explore, ask questions, and challenge themselves—even when the material is tough or unfamiliar. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and it motivates me to be a better educator.
Each resource I request is chosen with their individual and collective learning needs in mind. Whether it’s hands-on tools for STEM exploration, diverse books that reflect their identities and expand their worldviews, or flexible seating that supports focus and comfort, every item plays a role in making learning more engaging, inclusive, and effective. These resources aren't just “things”—they're opportunities. They help students feel seen, inspired, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.
My goal for purchasing resources for my Pre-K students is to support their early development by providing hands-on, sensory-rich, and play-based learning materials that foster curiosity, creativity, and foundational skills. These resources will help build essential social-emotional, language, motor, and cognitive skills in a joyful and nurturing classroom environment where every child can thrive.
