My Project

I am currently teaching 8 amazing early learner in the Bronx. Or should I say they are teaching me the Joy of learning and exploring. My students have a great interest in the solar system. Their speech language is limited, but when you give them a topic that they are interested in it. There are so much that we as educators can do to illicit language. This projector would give them such pleasure and joy both at school and at home with their families. It would help them grow social and emotional learning.
