My Project

The materials in this project will help support my students in small group learning. The color sorting, shape sorting and category sorting will help my students continue to build upon their basic math concept knowledge which will support them throughout their whole life!

Representation is so important in an early childhood classroom!

The multi-cultural doll sets will allow students to play with dolls of many different cultures and feel that their own culture is represented in our classroom. Having students from many different cultures is one of the things that makes them so special! The Follow your Dreams board book will be used during Black History Month to learn about how anyone can follow their dreams and be what they want to be! This is another important message for all early childhood students to learn. Finally, the pens, organizer pouches and printer ink will help keep our materials organized and colorful making our learning environment happy for everyone!
