My Project

I have the very special experience to loop with my fantastic class and follow them into kindergarten next year. In today's world we often forget the importance of play, and how that is a crucial developmental factor for kids this age. They need the opportunity to play, and with all of us moving up to a different classroom our current toys will be left behind.

The power of play is something that is so often forgotten about when looking at the young students of our schools.

My goal is to give my students the opportunity to learn through play as often as possible by tying in different subjects to our play and exploring our world.
