My Project
My kids hold a very special place near and dear to my heart and they are so smart beyond measure that they should have more things that can elevate and grow their little brains so that when they leave us they will be more than ready for kindergarten/the world. I love my students because they are unique individuals who are learning and deserving of the best and it’s all love in our classroom!
For the materials that we want like photo albums, we need them for a sense of community, and belonging self-awareness.
We are encouraging our children to explore and discover materials using their five senses. To increase their vocabulary and use more descriptive words. We have several children who will be going to kindergarten the shoe lacing practice will be interactive and hands-on for manipulating.
Taking care of the baby dolls and baby doll heads in the pretend and learn center will encourage healthy and safe practices of dressing, combing, and brushing hair. Sensory toys and autistic toys help them self-soothe when the environment is stressful or they are overstimulated.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
