My Students

I work with the youngest learners in an urban preschool setting. My students are a diverse group of young learners ages 3-5. Most come from high poverty homes. Seventy-eight percent of the students at my school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

I have students with special needs including communication impairments, students with autism, other health impairments, and students with motor concerns.

It is just a magical experience working with these students each day, and watching them grow. These students come to school eager to learn and brighten my day.

My Project

My students need resources that will help them create and act out imaginative play situations. These resources will help the youngest of learners understand how to apply prior knowledge in play based situations.

All children understand that imaginative play is an opportunity to test out prior knowledge of the world and to apply new concepts in a fun, safe, and interactive way.

These resources will help students take their knowledge to the next level. They will use these dramatic play materials in the classroom to set up creative home-living scenarios in which each child has a specific role in their play.

The students will use these resources to benefit their growth with learning life skills at a young age.
