Along with creating learning aids for children's books such as story props, vocabulary cards, and sequencing activities students also worked on building 3D dioramas of preschool classrooms designed to be inclusive and developmentally appropriate. The materials allowed them to add details like adaptive seating, diverse learning centers, sensory-friendly areas, and visual supports. Watching students collaborate, discuss what makes a classroom accessible, and thoughtfully design spaces where all children can learn was a powerful moment. These projects truly came to life because of the new resources.\r\n They were instantly excited and jumped right into creating. These materials made the projects more engaging and meaningful. Next, we'll add more book-based aids, include STEM activities, and design more inclusive classroom models to build real early education skills.
