Growing Our Skills Through the Year

Help me give my students an opportunity to continue to their discovery beyond the science lesson. They love to engage in new reading and STEM centers throughout the year.

My Project

Having multiple center choices allows students to be energetic about all subject areas. Center activities change and grow throughout the year as the students' skills mature.

Just as the curriculum changes, so do the center materials.

What was skill appropriate in August is no longer the case mid year or onward. Having a variety of materials on hand to provide more individualized instruction is needed.

My students are all amazing and unique in their own ways. Some have the ability to spatially create 3D models, while other students are masters of foundational reading skills. All are working towards towards mastery of all kindergarten skills.
