My Students

I am the very lucky teacher of students in an urban, integrated preschool. I love teaching the youngest learners in our district! My classroom consists of a mixed age group of students, ages 3, 4, and 5 years old. Some of my students have special needs, and some of my students are typically developing.

Our school family works so hard everyday to learn skills to develop students communication, social, motor, adaptive, and cognitive skills.

My Project

My sweet students will be learning virtually for (at least) the first nine weeks of this school year! I want to kick off the school year by providing some materials to their families. These materials will help motivate them to encourage participation in activities at home with their families.

Please help me build my students communication, social-emotional, cognitive, and motor skills with these materials for them to use throughout our virtual learning experience together.

As a preschool teacher, I take my students first experience on their school journey very seriously...I want it to be positive, motivating, nurturing, and full of learning!

Many of my students are pre-verbal, and communication skills are a main focus of instruction! Bubbles are a huge hit with preschool age students, and are a super motivating material to use to encourage students to use a device, vocalization, gesture, or word to request more! The plastic pointers are a fun way to students to demonstrate their understanding of academic concepts that we learn and practice (ex: "Go on a red hunt in your room, and point to all of the red things that you see!"); this extra fun tool motivates students to want to participate in the activity!
