My Project

I teach prek students who are exploring real life through play. They are brilliant little learners who are so curious and constantly asking questions.

These resources will enhance my classroom centers for them to continue that curiosity.

They will learn about the life cycle of a chicken while in a chicken coop caring for chickens and collecting eggs. They will explore being a chef and baker using resources that resemble real life items they would find at home but are their size and easy to use. They will explore their budding literacy skills and architect skills at the light table. Students will get to pretend to be mechanics as they build and restore construction vehicles.

There are endless possibilities of who they will grow up to be. Thank you for helping me to expose them to all options and seeing which career sparks their passion and imagination.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
