My Students

We are a class filled with young children who bring their different and similar experiences and stories into our learning community! We are curious about the world around us, and we are so eager to explore every part of it together. As we wonder, we are working together on piecing our ideas and questions to form our inquiry study through research and project-based learning. Our children's interests, questions, and observations interweave together to guide us on our journey of wonder.

We are always on the hunt for materials to further our inquiry studies as we partner with our families, community, and the world around us.

Materials are tools and guides used to enhance our learning experiences as we search for the answers to our questions and wonders. We may be small, but we are mighty in our play and exploration!

My Project

This school year, my preschool students come to school 2-3 times a week. Even during a short school week, they love to create and explore with different materials through their play, learning, and creative experiences in the classroom. We need materials that will further inspire our students to think creatively and freely.

We will use all these materials to provide the children with opportunities to tinker, learn from their mistakes, find solutions to their questions, and bring their ideas to life.

We strive to make our classroom a place where all children feel free to explore the world they know and the one that they will continue to learn about during their journey in preschool.
