My Project

Students learn so much when they are given opportunities to explore using their senses. It makes learning fun and supports their development. Students can use the light geometry board to learn their shapes. We can also use the letters and numbers tiles. They can be moved around the room and cleaned up when not in use so they are very space saving.

The alphabet will reinforce our curriculum in the classroom while the magnetic board can be used to create words with our magnetic letters.

All of these resources will help me bring play-based learning to life as I begin my 5th year of teaching.
