My Project

The learning materials I have chosen are to help my students with their overall learning. These are learning materials that will help them communicate and socialize with others through the different age-appropriate learning materials. There are also some materials such as markers, to help them develop their motor skills. I also included some teaching materials such as an easel to use as teaching tools as I do my group meetings. They are 3 years old and they need visual materials to help them know what is going on around them.
