My Project

Hi and welcome to preschool! We LOVE anything science in our room and we are running out of new materials to keep the students engaged. They are really into STEM and building with magnatiles is a favorite. We also do science experiments every Wednesday and they were looking at things they would like to do and most everyone agreed on the dinosaur eggs so it would be really fun to get them something they chose on their own. Our curriculum is child directed so it will guarantee they are interested if they pick it out! Hoping to do more projects that include the student's voices in the future.
