My Project

The big world is still new to preschool age students. To see them experience new concepts and ideas is a breath of fresh air. The items I selected for our classroom will help them in the fine motor and gross motor areas as well as creative play. With screen time on the rise, preschool age children need to be presented with multiple opportunities to grow in all of these areas. Children learn and express themselves in different ways so the more variety they are exposed to the more growth the class as a whole can see.
