My Project

My students are amazing preschoolers. It brings me joy and happiness to come to work each morning and be greeted by loving students. They fill my day with love. Many of the requested gifts will provide immense help when I teach them about the climate and the seasons. For example, the Sensory Leaves set helps them improve their motor skills, as well as make connections between the activity from this set and leaves outside. Many of these items are also puzzles to help sharpen their mental processing, which will be happening as they learn about the seasons and make connections with the outside world. Learning about the seasons helps my preschooler's kids understand the passage of time and teaches them about change. They can better understand seasons, learn new vocabulary, and also be able to link food and gardening to the different seasons. Their new knowledge should help them understand why and how we adjust to different seasons. I also hope to use the different leaf items to give them a lesson on how leaves change similar to how we grow up and change in life. I want them to make a connection between nature and themselves, and this will be easier with these items since it is winter.
