My Project

I am so excited to meet my 24 TK students in just a few short few weeks. For many, this will be their first ever schooling experience. After teaching Kindergarten for 20+ years, I know how important building social skills and recognizing feelings is at such a young age.

These materials will allow my students to learn and express different emotions and build social skills.

I will read the books to my students and role play with the puppets. My TK students will also love learning how to play appropriately with the toys all while build social skills in the classroom.
