My class is a Pre-K Collaborative classroom, what that means is that we have general education and students receiving special education services all together learning from each other. In my class we focus on their abilities rather than their disabilities. My students are engaged in play while also learning how to solve many problems. They love learning and are always ready to explore. I want all students who come into my classroom to discover a joy of learning. My students, most of whom are 4 and 5 year old's, have never been in school before and my classroom is their first experience to explore, learn, and grow! What I love most about my classroom is who I share it with.
