Our students come from all over Brooklyn- as we are a district PreK serving many different neighborhoods. This makes our school community diverse and unique. Our students come from varying backgrounds and cultures. They are 3-5 years of age and learn through open-ended questioning, exploring the process (not focusing on results) and of course, play!
My Project
Prek students learn best through play and hands-on exploration. They use toys to create, experiment and imagine. The best toys are ones they are interested in and excited about. We are at a point in the year where our current toys need a refresh. We have put together this project to purchase new and engaging toys for 3 PreK classes!
These table toys, or manipulatives, provide endless learning opportunities for young children.
They are used to count, sort, build, stack, and connect. These materials also provide opportunities to use expressive language, share and collaborate. Playing with table toys also exercises the fine motor skills of young children. These tiny muscles are the foundation for many future school and life skills, like zipping, buttoning, typing and writing. We are also purchasing locker shelves to make organizing and storing these new materials easy and convenient.
More than half of students from low‑income households
