My Project

Children learn best through play and it is essential for brain development! My school is allowing us to implement purposeful play for our kindergarten students this year! These materials, the light table, sensory table, and the wooden bulding blocks will allow my students to explore and learn for many years to come. They will discover how light travels, shadows, color mixing, letter formation, number identification, cooperation, problem solving and so many other important skills! These items will not just be used during play time but can and will be integrated into all subject areas!
