My Project

My students are exceptional and so fun to teach! I teach preschool, Deaf/Hard of Hearing students who require a variety of materials to help them learn the world around them. They are very visual and tactile learners, so these materials will be used to enhance lessons to teach them the pre-academic skills they need to succeed while giving them experience with materials they would otherwise not be exposed to. The use of magnetic foam building blocks will allow my students to explore shapes, compare numbers/sizes, and use their imaginations to create different structures. The tiles and sensory fidget toys will be used to help my students express themselves through touch and help them stay calm during times of frustration. Thank you for taking the time to consider our classroom!
