My Project

My young kindergarten students love hands-on learning opportunities. These new paints in various fun colors and types and Playfoam will give them some amazing new opportunities to explore and create some fun art projects. The regular paint, paint sticks, and paint dots will provide lots of different types of creative projects. The new math activities like the 10 Frame pop-its will help us practice building numbers to 10. The square pop-its will become a fun math game using dice to try to fill up the board first. I am also excited to get some of the recordable buttons to give my students the directions at each station in case they forget.

My young students learn so much using hands-on activities in our classroom and these items will help us create lots of learning opportunities.

I love the fact that my students are having so much fun painting and creating, and they don't even realize they are learning.
