The plastic pipes, the builders, and the lcd tablets are some of the children's favorites and have greatly enhanced our learning such as incorporating these materials into our Buildings study. Having these materials also allowed me to let the children borrow classroom materials to extend learning in children's homes and share resources with families. Not only have these supplied helped us learn academically, they have also allowed students take pride in being responsible for taking care of these materials so others can enjoy them as much as they do. Through your support, students continue to gain critical development skills as 3 and 4 year olds. \r\n\r\nOther classroom supplies such as wipes and sanitizing sprays have also been consistently used to keep our classroom clean and safe.

Students rely on conversations with others as they work together in a center. They also promote fun! Centers provide students with a way to interact with content in ways that traditional teaching methods lack.\r\n\r\nI choose some fun and new centers for my students. They are listed as follows: Match & Sort Language Quickies, Roll & Read Phonics Games, Math Equivalency Puzzles, Match & Sort Language Skills Quickies, Story Wands. I also chose some math materials and manipulatives that i feel will be beneficial for taking my students to the next level in understanding math concepts.
