My Students

I truly have a set of amazing preschool students. They are loving, energized, creative, hilarious, and unique in their own special ways. I enjoy coming to work everyday because they are always excited to learn and participate in classroom activities.

My Project

The Block Area is a great center students enjoy exploring and being creative. The benefit of kids playing in this area is fun to watch and priceless. Kids need free time to build and develop their imagination and creativity. This center will help kids learn to share and take turns, develop social interaction, develop fine/motor skills, become self-reliant, increase their attention span, increase math skills, and develop planning skills. Children can develop greater self-esteem when being creative in this area as well. Keep it fun and exciting, and let them be imaginative!
