My Project

Pre-K students learn through play. The block center is one of the most beloved learning areas in the classroom. Student love to go there and use their imagination. I have selected a variety of toys such as different types of vehicles (cars, trucks, and trains,) animals (farm and zoo), insects, dinosaurs, and people. These toys will give my students the opportunity to explore the world around them. Students will be able to learn about the different types of toys as they play. My student will learn to take turns and share, they will engage in social play, problem solving skills, and learn much more.
