These items will help my youngest students have a chance to appropriately develop their fine motor and gross motor skills. Currently, our school playground is in need of repair and will be under construction. Meanwhile, our students need an open space, a playroom, where they can use their imaginations and be creative. Furthermore, they can move freely and learn through play! Our three year olds and four year olds are at the point where they develop positive relationships by interacting with one other during play time. There are many benefits to creating a space for our three and four year olds to play safely on a daily basis. My principal, a team of teachers, volunteers and I want to make a playroom that is safe, inspiring, inviting and fun! Children benefit from opportunities to make new discoveries through play. The room will be transformed into a place where our children can use their imaginations by pretending to work at a farmers market, working a train system in a city, or building skyscrapers out of foam blocks. Our goal is to also create a space where our children can use their fine motor skills by building with foam blocks with a friend. We will also have a space for them to bounce, hop and climb to develop their gross motor skills. Moreover, sensory play is an important part of early childhood development. Children learn best through using their senses to understand and explore the world around them. By creating this space we are helping to develop language, cognitive and social growth as well. Help me to produce a beautiful safe space for our children.
