Preschoolers Learn and Grow!

Help me give my students materials such as toys and pencils that special education preschoolers need to learn and grow!

My Project

I am a preschool teacher who travels to students' homes and schools to provide special education services. These materials will be used to provide my students with engaging and interesting learning activities! We will use the books to learn early literacy, the blocks to build fine motor skills, the puzzles to learn shapes, numbers, letters, and colors, and the pencils to learn how to write. Preschoolers love to pretend play so the toys and games will be used to help them learn and meet their goals through play! My students also love dinosaurs, the dinosaur pencils and stickers will help motivate them.
