My Project

My goal is to use the light table with the magnetic blocks as children explore shapes and colors, while also seeing how real-world objects can be built from other things.

The use of the puppet theater is for my students to explore their imaginations of make-believe.

The stand I chose is to help my students become independent in cleaning up and knowing where to put items in our classroom.

What makes my students special is this is their first real school experience and I want them to gain a love of learning. This age does this through play and expectations which are established by teaching them how to take care of our things.
