Good morning Vanessa! This is Amy from NY, the teacher who asked the questions about materials for centers! Thank you so much for answering my questions. It was really a surprise to hear my name in this video podcast! I will definitely replay your video many times to really understand what you have suggested. I am in a private school so unfortunately, I cannot request Donors Choose. However, I definitely think I will give your ideas a try in requesting materials for the next school year. The school I work in is run by directors and the owner visits occasionally but has little if any interaction with staff. All I can do is try to suggest more materials. Thanks so much again! Have a great day!

Yay! I'm so glad this was helpful, let me know if your request for materials gets approved - fingers crossed!

[@amyfrancis9423]

Thank you, I will! Also, by the fall, I might ask another question for you to answer (if you can) about unit planning!

I'm a preschool teacher in an international school in Japan and I was struggling with the same problem... I always felt like I didn't have enough materials or wasn't doing good enough to engage the students... Your video is so helpful and I definitely learned so much.. Thank you!!

Can you do center's with 2 year olds?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Centers for 2 year-olds are much more open ended and about exploration. My channel focuses on teaching young children ages 3-5 years as these are considered the "preschool" years.
