My Project

During my designated purposeful play center time, going along with our science curriculum, students will learn about plants with the use of rainbow stones, wooden parts, blocks, bricks, marbles, flowers, tiles, gems, and other manipulatives and loose parts. Students will also be able to participate in plant provocations using the items I have chosen for this project. Students will be able to use the loose parts I requested to show knowledge of plants in our environment. We will also use the tray and cork board for organization. Students can possibly create and label plants using these items, and will also show what a plant needs to grow.

Play is one type of environment where children can be rigorous in their learning.

I plan to promote and extend student learning and development towards meeting desired goals of teaching my students about plants in our environment by providing more hands-on opportunities. Providing the students with these tools will keep them engaged and have fun while learning about plant growth!
