My Project
I absolutely love how curious, creative, and determined my students are. Each day, they come to class eager to explore, play, and learn in their own unique ways. My students benefit greatly from hands-on, play-based learning, and the building materials in this project will support their development in key areas like fine motor skills, problem-solving, and social interaction. These tools will allow them to engage in sensory-rich activities that support their individual learning styles. By providing open-ended building opportunities, I can encourage imagination, cooperation, and confidence while helping them meet important learning goals in a fun and meaningful way.
