My Project

In our PreK classroom, we have children with a variety of learning styles. One thing that we talk about as a class is how we all need different things to learn. Some of us need things repeated, some of us need pictures to help us understand, and some of us need tools. We are creating an environment for children to feel safe to learn in a way that they need!

In order to best support these learners we need to find the right tools.

These tools will be used when we are learning in whole group, when they need a calm down break, or at any time that will help them focus.

Ms. Kate Joseph C Solmonese Elementary School Grades PreK-2
