My Students

My students are from Houston and are dual enrolled in a Head Start program where the focus is to educate, equip, and empower them through meaningful relationships. Although my tiny scholars come from a variety of social and economic disadvantaged backgrounds, they share the same love for learning.

My Project

One thing I've learned about teaching preschoolers is they learn better through touch. These materials will bring learning to life. In my classroom I love for my students to explore and engage all throughout our class. Giving students the best quality of materials and resources increases their interest.

I want my students to feel special and for all of them to love coming to school.

Providing them with these manipulatives will create an environment where they can flourish. Integrating hands on experience and technology is a big component of our classroom.
