My Students

My student are 5 and 6 year olds who just love to learn! Whenever I can create meaningful, hands-on activities for them to engage in, I try my best to do so. The higher the level of engagement with my students, the more retention and better outcome I tend to receive from them.

My Project

We are always looking for ways to engage students in hands on, meaningful activities. These items will allow for students to play and create in meaningful ways adding to their overall learning experiences in our classroom! By using play people in the block center, the students can imaging a home/community life building things in their homes and neighborhoods. This ties in with our social studies curriculum, learning about neighborhoods and community helpers.

The STEM activity allows students to trial and error, overcome challenges, and creating with purpose.

The sand allows for hands on, tactile stimulation, and In building with the sand toys. We will also use this sand in language arts and math lessons. Any support in squiring these materials is greatly appreciated!
