My Project

My Kindergarten students are so excited to learn about the world and how it works. Having globes to study together in the classroom and individual globes to take home would give them concrete examples. Having the geodes and fossil eggs will help them to understand about our Earth as they explore the land, water, air, plants, animals, and natural resources and their impact on our lives. and our solar system.

My Kindergarten students enjoy exploring and want to know about the Earth and the solar system.

How better than to give them hands on activities to learn fulfill their questions? These items are the perfect toys to explore the Earth and Planets through the use of models and "mining" to discover what is found inside the soil where they live. The children can be actively engaged in learning through sensory exploration which is important for brain development.
