My Project

The most important part of PreK is play! We start our day exploring puzzles. Then we learn songs and rhymes during morning meeting. After story time we enjoy centers. We go outside for a recess in the morning and the afternoon. In the afternoon students have an hour of uninterrupted free play.

Play is essential for children's development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, relate to others, set their own goals and solve problems.

These Hot Wheels, books, blocks, puzzles, and supplies will add so much to our play in many ways through out the day. My students thrive when I switch out our toys and resources so have new learning experiences.
