My Students

Welcome to Pre-K in NYC- A diverse world of hands-on learning through play, exploration, enthusiasm, and fun! Entering school for the first time, this first-year experience determines a child's love for education. My little scholars are always curious and eager to ask questions and make connections. They are always eager for the chance to show what they can do, especially when provided with appropriate materials. To guide these growing minds, even more, I am seeking materials for centers in our classroom that correspond with our units of study. Help my learners express themselves in dramatic play, creation station, building corner, discovery zone, and cozy corner. Help be part of their academic and personal achievement!

My Project

Evidence-based practices continuously prove students learn best through play, especially during early development.

By donating to this project, you will be helping my students with many of their learning developmental needs.

Materials from this project will allow students to explore their fine motor, social, language, and academic needs. Students will use materials for play, not realizing how much they are having a positive effect on their development. Through play, my students will experience additional natural learning opportunities that they themselves will create with one another. These paints, dramatic play sets, and puzzles would be a valuable addition to our classroom!
