My Project

Assist me in providing my students with the opportunity to learn about social studies through the medium of play. Our students are young and thrive on learning about a wide variety of topics through hands-on activities. One of our favorite things to do with our children is to teach them about these significant topics in social studies. One of the things we like most to do is to educate ourselves about our community, the people who help us out, and the ways in which everything is connected and has an effect on our lives and the community.
