My Students

My students range from 3-5 years old and are able to qualify for our preschool by either having a developmental delay or being low income. This program gives children from all cultures, areas, abilities and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district.

My energetic preschoolers enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

They love being exposed to so many different experiences and opportunities and gleam with pride and excitement at learning new skills. They are an amazing group of kids!

My Project

Puzzles have been an area of struggle for my students this year. After a year of online learning, fine motor skills and spatial reasoning skills have been an area we need to work on and develop this year.

These puzzles are interactive which will motivate more students to choose puzzles during learning centers.

Once they become successful with these puzzles we can introduce more difficult jigsaw puzzles to help develop their spatial reasoning and logic skills. These puzzles will help increase their ability and confidence in completing puzzles and be an enjoyable activity for all. We also need a nursery rhyme flip chart and puppets for additional learning and motor skills development.
