My Project

My new children are here and I already love their energy and excitement. They are natural friend makers and are interested in finding out about the specifics of what we're going to learn this year. My children are ready to grow in kindergarten!

I want to create a classroom environment with this group that is conducive to community and growth and morning activities and not worksheets will be the route to accomplishing this goal.

As soon as the children arrive, I want to provide them with thinking, problem solving activities that are also fun set them in a place focused, generative thinking for the rest of the day. I would like my children to have bins with activities such as the STEM Explores Brainometry, the Fun to Know Rhyming Puzzles, the Alphabet Jigsaw Puzzle, and the BrainSpark DigitBuilders to make this vision happen.
