My Project

In preschool, we are setting the foundation for a love of learning and success across settings. By providing meaningful experiences and strategies to my preschool students, I will help grow their independence and confidence. Supporting emotional and physical needs will ultimately lead to their success in the classroom, as well. The tools I am requesting include sensory items that will support self-regulation, both visual and tactile, literature targeting emotions and life skills, hands-on community and life-skill manipulatives like puppets for role play and fine motor mats that allow for practice of practical skills.
