Prehistoric Preschool Part 2!

Help me give my students a Prehistoric Preschool experience with backdrops of dinosaurs, dinosaur activity books and dinosaur balloons!

This project is fully funded

My Project

Hello friends! I teach inclusive preschool in Lowell, MA. My students are beautiful children who are eager to learn about dinosaurs! I help my students become a community through academics, social skills, language, music, and hands-on learning using themes that are of child interest!

Let's turn our school into a giant prehistoric world to explore!

There's a rumble of dinosaurs at our school! Our preschool students are learning songs and dances about dinosaurs including counting, rhyming and rhythm fun! They are learning literacy, motor, and math skills by completing dinosaur themed learning activities!

Our Prehistoric Preschool classrooms covered with backdrops of dinosaurs in their environment will help the students learn about the environment and the dinosaurs that lived in it. They will explore and find blown up dinosaurs, too!
