My Project

My students are 3, 4 and 5 years olds in a blended preschool classroom which has peer models and children who receive special education services. We learn together. The

light table, Bendibeads and books will make hands on learning fun.

The children are learning so many objectives through play. A good play foundation provides for a rich learning experience. With open ended questions from staff and uninterrupted center time and fine motor time at the beginning of our day, students can build on learning throughout the year. Being excited about learning provides a foundation for the love of life long learning.
