My Project

Learning centers are a wonderful way to allow children choice in their learning activities and independent practice. In math and science, students will enjoy the hands-on and unique math games and activities, at their own pace. This small group set up also allows me to meet with small groups to complete harder tasks and provide much needed support to students in a meaningful way. All students benefit when they are enjoying their learning and receiving individualized instruction and support from their teacher. These center materials will allow me to create new and targeted center activities that meet the needs of my current students. Teacher Pay Teacher gift cards are all I need to purchase teaching materials with great lessons and provide them with opportunities for discovery.
