My Project

In our classroom, students engage in play-based learning every day. Centers are designed to engage and facilitate language, social emotional, and academic skills. Our early childhood special education students are learning how to interact and communicate with the peers and adults around them. What better way than through play.

Hands-on materials, that are eye catching and fun such as color and number games and language cards that have sound as well as sensory tiles, and magnets spark their curiosity.

Help me to fill our centers with new and engaging activities that can expand their little minds and abilities.
