My Students

My students are some amazing preschoolers! I really enjoy working with them and engaging in fun activities together. They love to play with hands-on materials and play in areas with peers. In our classroom, we do a lot of everything and we focus on building foundational skills.

My Project

These materials will be used to build and enhance preschoolers' foundational skills. Children will use materials to explore concepts and gain new knowledge through hands-on learning and interaction. The literacy center will be used to teach children the basics of reading through daily phonological awareness activities. Children will be able to explore letters and their sounds, manipulate letters to make words, and do many more early literacy activities. Likewise, with the math center, children can use it to explore numbers and the basic concepts of early mathematics. Thank you.
