Preschool Learning through Play!

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn through play! I am a special education teacher moving to pre-school for the first time. This is the first classroom many of my students will see.

My Project

My classroom is a preschool class for students with varying disabilities. This is the first classroom my students will see and it currently has very limited resources to provide learning opportunities through play. Children learn best through play opportunities. My students require hands on learning experience along with a variety of exposures in order to learn and maintain new skills and academic language. I love seeing my students come in excited to learn. With my experience in ABA and special education and your help, we can set these students up for success in future classrooms.
