My Project

My class is a group of very creative and curious 5 year olds who love to explore the world around them and engage in imaginary play. We spend around one third of our day outside and I am always looking for new opportunities to further our learning outdoors.

My students learn best through play and these materials will allow for numerous opportunities for them to further their learning and exploration outdoors.

These materials will not only allow us to take our learning outdoors but bring the outdoors inside.

The numerous materials including the light table and stand-up center will allow us to investigate nature through play. The kids will be excited to utilize the ramp & ball set, balance boards, and stepping stones in our outdoor classroom. We will use the kitchen cookware, acorn sorting, and apples in our new outdoor mud kitchen. As well as the letter/number/shape bubbles in our water sensory bin. With all of the materials in their project, students will have opportunities for sensory play, building, exploration, and creativity as well as improving fine and gross motor skills. The wide variety of play materials will allow students the opportunity to use their imagination and will help continue the excitement they have for learning.
