The students in my classroom are like little sponges. They come in each morning with smiles on their faces and are ready to learn something new. Since this is the first year of school for students in my class, they are excited about everything!
Pre-K is the perfect time to engage kiddos in hands-on learning!
Some of our goals include learning letters and numbers, but we also learn life lessons such as how to be a friend, how to follow procedures, and how to have fun while learning!
These students are very active and love to play! They are always on the go-constantly moving while learning. This makes STEM activities a perfect fit for our students.
Many of my students do not have opportunities for hands-on learning outside of school. They need every chance they can get to have meaningful, enriching experiences.
My Project
We will use the STEM fairy tale kits for the kiddos to solve problems to help the prince reach Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood carry apples to her grandmother.
They will have to use their imaginations along with critical and creative thinking.
We will use the car and robot kits for the kiddos to engineer ways for them to move from point A to point B and beyond. They will be using programming skills while they think they are simply playing. I have never met a Pre-K child who did not like cars, blocks, fairy tales and robots! These STEM kits will be the perfect combination of playing and learning!
