My Project

My students enjoy going to play centers at school. These centers are not just for playing, but also allow them to learn many other skills. They learn to socialize, work on social-emotional skills, adapt, share, and be kind to their friends.

These trains, trucks, and other items will help our students be more engaged in the center he or she is at.

It will allow them to learn and make believe in the center they are in. This is one of the most important skills to learn in our transitional kindergarten classroom setting. The packaging tape will be used to help hang the beautiful artwork up on the wall, and the puzzles will be a huge hit in our puzzle and games section!
