Visuals Make Preschool Easier

Help me give my students visuals such as name plates and picture name cards for cubbies as we prepare to return physically to campus. My students will also need math manipulatives to help implement small group instruction.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I co-teach an inclusive preschool classroom and all of my students regardless of their abilities are brilliant, hard-working, unique, and capable of learning. The children in my classroom range in their eligibilities from speech delays, Autism, intellectually disabled, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments. Distance learning has increased the barriers that children with disabilities face, making it more difficult for equitable learning.

My Project

As teachers across California prepare for the possible return to campus, teachers, students, and classrooms will require visuals and manipulatives in the classroom to make learning and classroom management easier. The sand timers will be used both during distance learning and upon return to campus. Visual timers help make transitions seamless and minimize behavior challenges. Manipulatives help make small group instruction more effective because young learners are more engaged when presented with manipulatives and hands-on learning. Visuals such as name tags and picture nameplates will be used to label students' cubbies and personal belongings.
