My Project

My project is to add STEM play mats to my Reggio PreK classroom. The mats will add a realistic natural look like rocks and grass.

STEM activities are based on curiosity, inquiry, and play.

Hands-on activities will enhance my students' exploration of science, STEM, and engineering. STEM concepts help children develop new ways of thinking and problem solving. The STEM play mats will be a great new addition to my new room next year. Thank you for supporting my project, and I cannot wait to see how excited the children will be.
