My Students

My students bring energy, curiosity, imagination, creativity, language, and great social skills! But, my students also need the hands-on age appropriate materials that will help enhance what they bring in knowledge. I have a new group of young learners who learn through play about the real world. They are also STEAM academy learners who have the possibility of the 21st Century Learning! Their eagerness to learn brings great joy in the classroom where they are exploring the environment in real life situations.

My Project

Can you remember when you were a child at home playing and pretending to be someone else; mocking your parents, siblings and just looking up to them as you learned who they were and who you would want to be like as you grew up?

Early Educators understand the importance of character building.

Children learn through others by what they see and hear, this is the beginning of teaching. Demonstrating a nurturing and positive attitude can help develop great social skills among others learning through ones action. Learning the essential skills as cooking, cleaning, going to work, taking care of family members will help build character and social skills, allowing children the opportunity to explore what it is like to pretend and use their imaginations at an early age in a productive society as they learn about home, school and community.

The materials will help us to help the children in not only actions and good deeds but also developing language, cultural differences and similarities and embracing each other's lifestyles. I am looking forward to exploring possibilities through play with my young learners and helping future dreamers, because after all, Dreams Do Come True, and Dreams are birth into a reality!
