My Project

Kindergarten learners are very hands sensory in their learning. They learn with all their senses at this age. They are learning how to recognize smells, and how touching items give them force, and why foods taste different on their tongues.

Enhance my students sensory learning by giving them a sand water and Stem station for them to explore independently.

Students at this age love to play in water. Well more so are very curious about how things move and work and one of those things is water. Allow my students to have the space to do hands on science daily in their classroom.
