My students love to investigate. Children need tools that allow them to view their world from a different perspective and enhance their curiosity. Exploring an outdoor environment with binoculars and goggles will open up an unseen world to their little eyes.
My students are very active preschoolers that love to investigate the world around them.
They attend an all day program that allows them ample time to explore their world and try to make sense of it. My students attend a preschool that incorporates the importance of caring for their world and the life in it. When given a chance to examine living creatures and the environment we put on our boots and head outside.
My Project
Exploration of the outside world to spark a child's interests needs specific tools. Binoculars open the world of exploration to young children. Going out into the outdoors with your boots on, specimen cage in hand, tools to hunt down and humanely capture insects to study is something that every young child loves to do. These resources will open a world that holds many hidden secrets right outside the back door. My students will learn how to explore the meadow, identify different species of insects, and care for the insects while in their class. They will also learn the importance of releasing the insects back into their natural habitat.
This project will bring my students outside to investigate and explore.
With so many children these days spending so much time in front of televisions and video games this project will stimulate their curiosity and get them up and outside in the fresh air to explore the wonderful world that exist just outside their back door.
