My Project

In creating this project, I hope to promote a supportive environment that shapes my students into well-rounded and confident individuals who will grow up to be successful in whatever future endeavors they chose. Though my students are young, they amaze me with their imaginations and loving natures daily. They are accepting of each others differences.

I would really like to incorporate dolls into our classroom during free play that better represent the cultures of our current students while encouraging them to use their imaginations and engage in cooperative play together.
