Stretching Our Brains Through Play

Help me give my students adventure, imagination-building, and screen-free time while learning to build their social-emotional skills and intake about the world around them.

My Project

My students will use the learning centers to work

cooperatively with classmates and be kind to one another.

These learning centers will help them develop kindergarten reading skills, number sense, engineering, fine arts, science, and social-emotional learning. They will use the centers daily to reinforce skills introduced during instruction and build relationships with their peers.

These learning centers will allow students to engage in purposeful play and help them practice all aspects of their kindergarten learning, including phonemic awareness and phonics, basic number sense, fluency in addition/subtraction, scientific investigation, fine arts, and social awareness. Students will work in these centers daily for 45 minutes.
