My Students

Welcome to our prekindergarten world. Here a diverse group of 3 and 4 year olds are learning to collaborate in a calm, peaceful and safe environment. All children in prekindergarten love to experience new things. These children are no exception. It is my pleasure to bring new exciting opportunities to the children in my care.

In just a few weeks the class of 18 has bonded together and works in harmony with one another.

Giving children the opportunity to experience new educational adventures takes many forms. Regardless of the experience, it requires planning and in most cases participation. This project is no exception. I have planned and now I am reaching out for support to give the children a new opportunity.

My Project

The use of a flannel board and appropriate stories has been an asset in an early childhood classroom for generations. Over the years I have collected flannel board stories and they have been so very popular that now they are worn and no longer appear inspirational.

Help bring the spark back to the beloved flannel board activity area.

The new fresh material will offer the children a chance to learn, explore and expand their self confidence by being creative storytellers with familiar stories, songs and fingerplays. Put a smile on a child's face as they relive a story by supporting this project.
