My Project

Play and learning come hand in hand in my classroom. Students learn in many hands-on and engaging ways, and I always try to make each activity fun and related to student interests.

In an early childhood classroom, labels and prints are very beneficial in their literacy and math skills.

I have noticed how much the way my classroom is set up affects their abilities as they are being exposed to more print concepts.

The students learn a lot from their environment, and that is why I want to enrich my classroom through artistic and fun ways to gather the students attention and interest in our learning activities.

It will be something that will motivate my students to learn more and at the same time, it will be beneficial in supporting students with learning disabilities. These materials will be useful for our current and future students and intentionally chosen for long-term use.
