My Project

Each day my students have the opportunity to work in various centers during morning and afternoon sessions. Also during this time both myself and the assistant teacher are working with students in small groups. The materials I have chosen will be used during these times.

I have selected materials for my students to use during our upcoming water unit including a kit that will help them explore sink and float.

Other materials that I have chosen will help them explore how water moves. I have also selected various bingo games to work with students in small groups on rhyming, initial sounds, and number recognition.
