My Project

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” -Benjamin Franklin. We want the students to be engaged, focused and interacting with the lessons and activities. What better way to do so than having fun, new, interactive toys that are motivating and captivating.

“Children learn as they play, most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.” - O Fred Donaldson
The rain drums and the sensory feeling bottles will be a great addition to our circle time- the calming noises and actions will help redirect the students to the lesson. The magnetic car set will be fantastic for the STEM and Dramatic Play Stations. The kiddos will be able to create and design cars that they think of. The jumbo slinky is great for motivation and rewards that will keep the students engaged throughout the lesson.
