My Students

The students in my class are excited and eager to learn. My students are joyful, energetic, creative and always so much fun to be around! They come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of educational experiences. Most of my students come from low-income homes where they have had limited exposure to reading. Some students have experienced some form of previous education while others do not know how to hold a book. All of my students are capable of growing and learning inside the classroom.

My students have so much to learn whether they need to learn how to tie their shoes, letter sounds, adding or writing.

My students have the potential to do amazing things and I loving being able to help them grow.

My Project

These materials will benefit my student's learning because it will expose them to toys and play items they have not been exposed to at home. Having these items will help my students develop many different skills they will need for school and later on in life.

When students are playing they are able to work on so many different social skills such as sharing and communicating with others.

The materials such as Link and Go Vehicles and Play Mat will give students the opportunity to interact and communicate with other students while also counting how many cars they are using. The snap dinos, soft and squeezy farm animals and mix and match magnetic families will help students work on developing their fine motor skills which will also help them when they begin writing and holding a pencil. The cash register and food items will help students learn how to share with others and how to problem solve in real world scenarios! With these materials my students will be able to learn so many valuable life and academic skills, all while having so much fun playing!
