My Project

My students are fun, loving and energetic kindergarteners who are ready to learn. They enjoy working with each other on projects and exploring new concepts. The goal is to provide them with a space that will allows all types of learners to be successful in kindergarten.

The tables will provide a wonderful work space for completing independent work, playing with STEM bins, and collaborating with classmates.

I am excited to see them working and playing with each other. It is important for students to learn in an aesthetically pleasing environment. It minimizes distractions and allows them to focus on the task at hand. Organized and clean furniture can help promote collaboration and support academic and behavioral goals.
