My Project

I love watching my students learn and grow in a warm, safe preschool environment. My students are special because each student is unique and learns at different levels and in different ways. My students will benefit from the play dough materials which will allow them the hands-on experience to strength their fine motor skills and use these materials in creative ways with their peers.

There are several benefits my students will gain with these materials.

For example, it is calming for them, supports literacy, numeracy, and hand - eye coordination and social interaction.
