My Project

My preschoolers will be doing the ball study next school year. I would love to have these books to go along with the study that I think they will enjoy and make the study come to life. I really love to use social emotional products and would love to have the emotions sensory balls for our calming center. The preschoolers would have so much fun while exercising using the bowling set and the parachute.

They love to play with balls.

I will still use what the P.E. class offers us in the gym and outside to save money. The preschoolers love to play with the balls, outside equipment, and the hula hoops.

I want the children to learn about balls and exercise. They will learn to have fun while exercising. They will also learn teamwork through this and how to interact with their peers.
