Funded Nov 10, 2021I want to thank you for your generous donations! The farm house, train track, and train station with track are being utilize for our "Choice Time". During this time, students get a total of 45 minutes to play in their area of choice. In order to allow all students to receive a turn in playing they rotate from area every 15 minutes. The farm house was placed in the Discovery area with the farm animals. The train track was placed in the Block area and the train station track was placed in the Car area. The stamp set was placed in the Art table, they are used during Intentional Teaching as part of the art materials.
When my students first saw the news toys and stamps, their eyes lighten up! They were beyond excited and where anxious to play with them. Up until now they continue to enjoy the toys during choice time.
Currently we are working on the Pet Study. My students will be learning about pets for five weeks. During this study I use pets to create daily lessons. For example, on a day that students are working on patterns I will use a "cat" and a "dog" to initiate a pattern. Students will be asked to continue the pattern. They will count different pets and identify colors.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Robles
