My Project

After being able to go through my classroom this past week and being able to see what I need to make it better, there are these two things. At this stage of development, children like to have their own space and see themselves reflected in the environment. Circle time is a huge part of preschool. It is where we spend most of our time moving, singing, and learning. A good circle time rug will give each individual child a space to grow while nurturing their skills to engage in learning and increase their attention span. The other item that I am asking for is a big book stand so while teaching during circle time, I have access to books and materials that students can engage in.
