My Project

Pre-K students learn through hands on play.

Kinetic sand, sidewalk chalk, and playdough will help my students learn through play while developing their fine motor skills.

The Kinetic Sand is fun for students because of how it molds but also acts like traditional sand. Chalk is fun for students and allows them to express themselves freely and artistically. Play dough will be wonderful for students to be able to manipulate, and build letters with as they learn throughout the school year. These materials will be used daily in our classroom.
