My Project

One of the best days of each month are our classroom change outs. I spend time packing up everything we've been using, rearrange our learning areas, and set up new resources.

When my students walk in after a change-out they are so excited to learn and explore!

Creating dramatic play units keep my students excited and engaged. New thematic units are so fun as we read, play, build, and explore things such as pets, dinosaurs, community helpers, fairy tales, and more!

Theses resources will beef up our thematic units and give students new areas to play and learn!
