My Project

With this project, I am requesting A Lakeshore Theme Boxes Set that consist of 8 learning theme boxes that includes props and manipulatives that is easily accessible to students to explore and for teachers to add as resources to expand learning curriculums.

The goal for this project is for students to receive the extensive learning opportunity to help with understanding and provide hands-on learning that allows students to be engaged.

The goal for this project is to provide many materials that are designed to provided a variety of hands-on learning experiences that allows the students to be fully involved.

Kindergarten provides an experience that enriches all developmental skills. My kindergarten class is mixed with diverse learners who eagerly come to school excited and ready to learn. What makes my students unique is their genuine attitude and love they have for school daily. My students come to school excited to see their friends, their teacher, and most of all their school environment.
