My Project

When our students are coming in every morning, we have them play with STEM items. This helps get their brains ready for the day and work with others. Play is important to a preschool classroom because that is how our students learn best. We encourage imaginative play where the students come up with the idea, instead of the toy telling them how to play. Our students love to play with different toys and with this project, they will be able to a variety of manipulatives. They learn how to build, create, imagine, and share through play.
