My Project

These Montessori toys and games will fit in perfectly during the soft start and free play in my community preschool classroom. However, I am most excited to use them one on one with my students in the developmental classroom.

Utilizing these tools as Task Boxes help my students with cognitive, motor, and language skills.

Specifically, strengthening skills like patience, task persistence, vocabulary, one-to-one correspondence, color and shape recognition, sorting and classifying, and fine motor skills. I plan to use these boxes in conjunction with a three-drawer work system that students are familiar with but am eager to see them explore new tools.
