My Project

Our garden area outside has grown from just a few sensory bins to so much more. Our students are learning how to grow their own vegetables while actively playing and learning in various stations. Having the Lakeshore Jumbo Outdoor Balance Scale and Easy-Build Bricks Starter Set will allow teachers to have small group lessons in counting and comparing. The apple tree would make a perfect addition to learning while outside.

We have taken away the four walls.

Our students love going outside to the playground. They really enjoy the various stations they get to play in when we visit the garden center classroom. They are actively learning how to be creative, communicate, build, count, and phonics in certain stations. Our garden center classroom has been growing a lot more this year with various stations and having these to added to it would allow more learning to take place.
