My Project

The students really enjoy going to centers. They need additional materials for the learning centers to keep them motivated and engaged in learning.

They are so busy learning and having fun as they are learning new skills.

The kindergarten age is a tricky one to keep them engaged and motivated to learn the new skills. The learning centers really keep the students engaged when the teacher is working in small groups. The students are excited to work with their peers as they are practicing, learning and engaging with the new skills.
