My Project

My PreK students are always curious and eager to learn new things. This project is going to help them to explore everything about plants, flowers and gardening. My students stay focused and are always interested in something new. They enjoy using their hands and creating projects.

The items I chose will encourage the students to explore new things and encourage them to use their imagination.

They will gain an understanding of how plants grow, parts of a plant and which fruits and vegetables we get from gardens. They will use what they already know about plants during play and exploration time and share ideas with each other.
