My Project

As we know, students between the ages of 3-5 learn so much from playing while learning. The hands-on games and activities will help my students in tremendous ways. They will be learning by having fun and not even knowing it. The games and hands-on activities will provide my students with opportunities for direct sensory interaction, supporting active learning, improving fine motor skills, boosting cognitive growth, sparking creativity, and encouraging exploration through all five senses.

My students would also be working together to foster communication among each other This hands-on approach leads to a deeper understanding and better retention of information than passive learning methods My students will be learning as they are having fun.

My goal for this project is to give my students and my nonverbal students a wonderful and fun learning experience. Learning with preschoolers through hands-on activities, emphasize sensory-rich experiences such as matching and sorting games, and dramatic play. Using visual cues will enhance understanding and communication through various actions and gestures.

My students are special and exceptional learners. My student means so much to me. Not to mention this item will help them as they grow and progress especially when it comes to their IEP goals and life in general. It will help parents to be able to understand and connect and bond with their child at home especially when I present them with different ways to engage their child to learn on so many levels. They will learn peer interaction, socialization, and most of all learning which will carry them as they progress and move on to other areas of learning.
