Playdough Mats 1-30 Back to School Preschool Centers Activities
Playdough Mats 1-30 are a fun resource to use with your preschoolers and kindergarten children. As they play with playdough, they'll be reviewing numerals and counting, as well as number words. To get the most use out of the mats, print on card stock and laminate for durability. Sometimes I print my mats two-sided and then laminate to save resources, especially if I am using them with less than a whole class. *************************************************************************************

During the last 13 years of my teaching career I taught 3 to 5 year-olds in a Developmental Preschool classroom in an IL public school.

Teaching style
For me, learning is all about making connections to our everyday lives. For the little ones, everything we do has a connection because the world of reading, writing, counting, computing is unfolding each and every day. For the older kids, my favorite question to answer was, "What's this got to do with my life?"
I'm a big picture sort of person by nature, but being a special education teacher has allowed me to hone my skills of task analysis. Enticing kids into stories and activities is my goal - make it fun and include movement! My job as a teacher of little ones with developmental delays permits me to be creative every day.
