My Project

My students have a vast amount of curiosity and potential to learn. Each learning tool gives them a chance to explore and express their thoughts feelings and understanding of new concepts.

Pre-K students learn best from hands on exploration.

The materials I have ordered will help them to learn and understand their environment, their emotions and the emotions of their friends. They will learn how to best express themselves in a mentally healthy way.

They will also learn to explore the environment and world around them with the science tools. The tools will help them learn many concepts such as color mixing, measurement, and vocabulary all while having fun with hands on experiments.
