My Project

The materials requested will support our youngest learners on campus to explore STEM concepts and support their storytelling skills. I have requested materials to increase student exploration in different science and technology activities as well as explore different ways to retell well-known fairy tales.

Many of our preschoolers have language delays and storytelling is a fun way to support language development and story recall.

Through the use of STEM materials, students will be able to retell the story while using hands-on props and materials. My goals are to provide engaging ways for students to practice speaking and also remember events in stories. The additional STEM activities will support students' exploration of science concepts of movement and force. They will be able to practice vocabulary and explain what they see happening during their hands-on play. Through engaging our Special Education students in their early language development, they will develop better language and pre-literacy skills to support their transition to Kindergarten.
