My Project

During COVID many children sat indoors on iPads, computers, and in front of televisions. My project will create a literacy center with engaging books and a creative area to express themselves through music, dance, and bookmaking. This literacy center will enhance my special needs students' communication and language skills as well as spark their curiosity and imagination. The materials will be used to create a classroom library, materials to make books, and a video monitor so we can play dance music and videos. Our preschoolers will learn and have fun!
