My Students

Pre-K is an exhilarating and fun age for students. My students are learning about letter-sound relationships, numbers, shapes, colors, and how to hold a pencil. They are always willing to learn and ask many questions. They love using hands-on learning, where they can make a connection in their growing minds.

I love going to school each day to watch their resilient minds grow.

In my classroom, we work together and cheer each other along. They are constantly teaching me with how fast they learn, and the types of relationships they build with each other.

My Project

Pre-K students are constantly learning through play. Play allows them to develop many skills and reach milestones in their early childhood years. My students, like all other early childhood students, learn best through play. Sensory play materials takes their learning and development to the next level. Our sensory table, allows students to explore their senses and learning though things like: water and sand. The number fishing set, is a material in this project that we can add to our sensory table. This allows students to be engaged in their learning while they play. Another material in this project, Mystery Box Set, will help my students explore their creativity and imagination through sensory objects.

By donating to this project, you will be helping my students with many of their learning developmental needs as a Pre-K student.

Materials from this project will allow students to explore their fine motor and academic needs. Students will play with these materials, and not even realize how much they are having a positive affect on their learning and development.
