My Project

What I noticed about 3 year old is that they usually learn by doing hands on activities so I like to incorporate lessons where kids are able to explore through touch and connection. Unfortunately I noticed that my classroom doesn’t have all the necessary tools to do this. The materials that I’ve requested will help my students increase there fine motor schools by providing tools that interest them and helps them to learn best. My goal is for my children to be able to do things independently for themselves after learning through consistent modeling from co teacher and I, and having these tools will help to be a great representation.
