This new addition to the classroom got students excited for learning about healthy foods and ways to cook. Students began to increase their communication and negotiations skills with each other in this play area.\r\nThis will be an important part of our classroom all year long as we work on our social emotional and play skills at the PreK level.

The white board markers and erasers are valuable tools that we use every day.

We gather there every day for morning meeting, group activities, and even quiet reading moments. Having a dedicated rug space where the whole class can sit together has made such a difference in fostering a sense of community. It's a space where we can collaborate and build friendships, and it has truly brought us closer together.\r\n\r\nThe quality of the rug is fantastic, and I am confident it will hold up for many years to come.
