Imagine Though The Eyes of a Preschool Student

Help me give my students center materials for a community station. This station will create an imaginary area to read, write and communicate with fellow classmates.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Searles's classroom raised $478

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will allow my young learners to explore a classroom station of different cultures and environments using colors of the world crayons while acting out using animal masks. Having a TPT gift card will allow for writing, reading and literature creation using templates and lessons created on TPT.

The backdrops will allow for changing the learning environment without destroying the imaginary location and learning process set in place for my young learners.

Laminated materials will make the materials reusable for years in the prekindergarten room. It will also allow for my learners to make mistakes and how to correct them.
