My Project

Tomorrow's engineers are in my classroom today! My students love to design, build, and create with different materials. We need more materials for fostering their engineering minds! I have selected some items that will spark their imaginations and creativity- Design and Build Engineering Sets, Magnatiles, and Bristle Blocks.

Playing in preschool is so important to future academic success.

Planning and doing, sharing and taking turns, and imaginative play all develop cognitive abilities that they will need to learn in the future, as well as today.

We are a part of a wonderful school district in Spartanburg, SC. My students come from many different backgrounds, including rural areas. Playing together is building what our future needs.
