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
Many of my students have a developmental delay or are English Language Learners. These materials make early literacy skills such as retelling a story, sequencing, beginning writing skills more accessible to them. By giving them hands on materials, they will have props to help them navigate these difficult skills that are so important for kindergarten readiness and learning how to read. Many of the fine motor tools will help students develop the muscle strength and eye hand coordination to begin to learn how to print letters of the alphabet and also write their name.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
