My Students

Our school has such an exciting group of students with mixed interests, abilities, and goals. This year, my students are learning to communicate, learning how to play with friends, learning letters, and counting, while some of their classmates are learning to imitate sounds or hold a pencil. We use a variety of different materials in our classroom in order to achieve each student's goal. Our group loves to play outside, learn through music, learn new games, and boogie to a sweet tune.

My Project

There is nothing like curling up on the couch with a good book. In our pre-K classroom we like for all of our children to feel right at home. By this child size couch being in our classroom it will give each child the opportunity to relax and look at a good book. We work on socialization skills in our classroom and with this couch it gives the students the opportunity to sit together and enjoy a good book. Studies show that in comfortable library settings children often will pretend to read, using visual cues and fall in love with a good book.
