My Project

It's time to get my young learners some hands on Science Center fun! My wonderful class of sixteen 3-5 year olds love to explore and learn with their hands. What better way to help them learn and grow than through an exciting, engaging and multi-sensory science center! My class is an inclusion classroom that includes both general education and special education students together. This Science Center can be such a great way for my students to connect with one another despite their challenges and connect not only to the topics but also to one another.

Learning specific science topics through this center will help spark my students interests in science and perhaps help create future scientists!

Hands on exploration is the best way for my students to learn especially at such a young age and I truly feel that this center will only help engage my students in new and exciting ways to learn and explore!
