My Project

Our classroom is a community working together as the children learn to read, write, solve and create as they build the mindset of lifelong learners.

Play fosters perseverance, flexibility and resilience in children.

In order to do this, our classroom needs additional supplies. These materials are part of a STEAM approach as students work to become scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and artists.

As they play, children learn to be creative and flexible in their thinking. As they build pretend worlds, they develop relationships with other students and resolve conflicts as they arise. They also begin to learn flexibility as they work through problems.
