My students are 4 years old, some entering school for the first time. This is a brand new preschool classroom. Many materials are needed to enhance students' learning cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally. The children are very excited to be at school. I love my students because they are eager to learn. They always ask for one more story. They love learning and new experiences, and I want to provide the most engaging curriculum!
My Project
These materials will make an amazing difference in my classroom. The science activities are engaging and fun. This will encourage interests in science and learning. I believe the fairy tale kit will improve literacy skills and social skills as students will reenact the stories with the puppets. Many activities begin at our rug. The requested rug will improve the learning environment, it will help to create an inviting and friendly environment. The smaller requested rug will be utilized in our Blocks area. Everyday children are curious and eager to learn, I want to be able to provide the most exciting and educational preschool experience for my students.
