My Project

Please help me add amazing science materials to our classroom. Foundational Science skills in Pre-K are fostered through hands-on learning with many different types of materials and manipulatives.

Using these hands-on materials lets children explore through play while learning about an array of scientific discoveries such as how things grow and change, oceans, the farm, etc.

By providing ways for students to explore and observe, students can begin to make connections and gain background knowledge about the world around them. These materials will be used in a variety of ways, in whole group lessons, small groups learning centers and free choice play based centers as well.
