My Students

My pre-k students are creative, smart, and love art. They are of different ages, between three and five.

They love any kind of art, especially experiments where they can learn new things.

They are interested in new things and love to be engaged in different activities. These kids are precious because this is their foundation as they move on to the next level, kindergarten.

My Project

These materials will be for our Insect Study. The Bug City will let the students observe the insect inside it. They can also feed them and watch them eat. The ants, bug sorting activity, and butterfly counters will enhance the student's sorting skills and counting as well. The two table games with the bee and building bugs will be of great activity for our table toys for center play. Insect discovery kits will help the students learn and explore about the life of the insect.

Insect Study is a fun way for the students to learn and explore about it.
