My Project

Kindergarten is an incredibly important grade to start off a Student's understanding and respect for community helpers. Much of the early Kindergarten curriculum is centered on discovering what a community helper is and what their role in the society is. Children learn best through play and pretend so these outfits and bins to store them in will be perfect to add into our center time. The megaphone will be for when we practice outside and change classes for pretending. Crossing guards, Firefighters, Police Officers, Teachers, Trash collectors, and many more are just some of the roles my Students will learn about!

Grades PreK-2
