My Project

I love that my PreK students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them. Every day, they learn through hands-on experiences that build their confidence and independence. They thrive when given opportunities to strengthen their fine and gross motor skills through authentic play-based activities.

The small and large motor materials in this project will help my students develop essential coordination and strength in their hands and bodies, which are crucial for writing, self-care tasks, and overall physical development.

These tools will allow them to engage in meaningful activities that support their growth in a fun and engaging way.

Additionally, the printer ink will ensure that we can document and celebrate their progress throughout the year. Their portfolios will showcase their learning through pictures, performance data, and student work—creating a lasting record of their hard work and achievements.

My goal is to provide my students with the resources they need to learn through movement, creativity, and reflection. With your support, we can create a classroom environment where every child feels successful and proud of their growth.
