My Project

I work with a diverse class of eager 5-year olds ready to engage in fun, hands-on learning. I have requested a lot of ELA and math materials that my students can manipulate and extend their learning of concepts during small groups. I will work with a small group for ELA and Math, and the other stations allow them to play and reinforce concepts that have previously been taught.

Centers allow students to work together and practice communication skills while also enhancing their academic knowledge.

A lot of the students in my class don't have access to many academic games at home. By having these materials in the classroom, students are able to access fun materials that make learning exciting and engaging!
