The new resources are being used daily in our science and sensory centers, where students explore, observe, and ask questions like real little scientists.

Big smiles and curious hands filled the room. Students were eager to explore and quickly began using the tools independently, building confidence and curiosity through play-based learning.\r\n\r\nNext, our class will use these resources for a nature investigation project. Students are going to plant seeds, observe them grow, and ultimately plant them outside to create a classroom garden. They will share what they discover through drawings, discussions, and simple charts.
