Teaching preschool is my passion. My class is full of three-year-olds who are so excited and enthusiastic to learn each day. My students come with a range of struggles; some with learning difficulties, others with difficulties outside of school, such as poverty or being homeless. Regardless of their situations, it is my job to ensure that their first school experience is a positive one.
One of the many things I love about preschoolers is their endless imagination and excitement for new knowledge.
Preschool is a year full of wonder, curiosity, and growth, and it is my job to keep that excitement alive to create lifelong learners.
My Project
Help me provide my students with different puzzles to help with problem solving, critical thinking, shape recognition, matching, and fine motor skills. Puzzles are frequently used in cognitive and fine motor IEP goals for our young learners. I have added a wide range of puzzles from the basic knob puzzles to jigsaw puzzles to help push all learners cognitive skills.
Puzzles are a Preschool classroom necessity to introduce problem solving.
These new puzzles will allow for student differentiation to work and fit with all abilities in my classroom. From speech delay, down syndrome, autism, and visual impairment, these puzzles will help all students in my classroom build fine motor and cognitive skills.
