My Project

Kindergarten is a fun and exciting time for young learners. Students are learning to be in a classroom, some of them for the first time. They are learning skills beyond reading, writing, and math. Items like a Kitchen Playset, hand puppets, magnetic tiles, etc. with help support learning basic life and social skills.

Among the most critical skills learned in kindergarten are sharing, playing together, and managing big emotions.

These skills are critical and can only be learned through experience. This project includes materials such as LEGOs and magnetic tiles that will help my students explore, create, and play together. Providing items such as kitchen play sets and dress-up clothes for play will help students learn basic life skills such as sharing, problem-solving, and respect. These skills are critical and can only be learned through experience.
