My Project

Centers are a vital part of my students' daily exploration and learning. Each center allows students to work on many skills through play. The art center allows students to paint and express their creativity, creating masterpieces.

In the play-dough center, students make shapes, letters, numbers, and objects, building their academic skills while strengthening their fine motor skills.

Our Reading and Math centers provide a hands-on learning experience with manipulatives, enhancing students' problem-solving and social skills. Another center my students love is writing. Having dry-erase markers provides multiple opportunities for students to explore writing without fear of making a mistake.

Centers are an integral part of learning through play!
