My Project

The items I chose for my project will allow my students to experience new and exciting materials in our classroom. Pre-k students really learn through exploration and positive interactions. These materials will help to spark phenomenal conversations between their peers and teachers. We also engage in daily music and movement activities. The blue tooth speaker will help us to continue to do so. My students love puzzles and the challenge they present. Puzzles encourage working together and sharing to solve the problem. Paint and Playdough increase creativity. All these things will go to great use and are truly appreciated.
