My Project

I teach very curious kindergarteners. One of my favorite things about them is their constant ability is to learn from play. I have a discovery center in my classroom that I change out frequently. The purpose of this center is to foster investigative and observational skills. Exploring through a variety of senses is so crucial for early learning! Children learn best through multi-sensory experiences. These supplies would help me give my students a variety of ways to discover, measure, weigh, and create. While in our discovery area, students have the opportunity to use various apps on iPads to observe and record different findings. Headphones can be used during this time of learning. I cant wait to see what they can learn!
