My Project

My students of different backgrounds and learning abilities love being given the opportunity to build and create in the classroom. I love giving my students the freedom to collaborate or work independently and build new things with steam activities and building manipulatives.

It is these early years of development that are crucial for a young child.

Through early learning experiences, both social and academic, a young child is learning how to form relationships with peers, trusted adults, and discover their individual place in the preschool environment. Students at any age or skill can build and be creative.

My students feel confident when they show something they have built and feel proud that they created something. Like writing their letters or building an object. Building is important for boys and girls in my classroom and both can work together to create wonderful projects.

Often times there may not be enough supplies for groups of children to use at the same time. Having these additional materials will allow for more children to engage with and learn along side each other.

For many of my learners, this is their first time in a classroom setting and I want to make it memorable.
