My Project

You say that you love your children,

And are concerned that they learn today,

As am I, that’s why I’m providing

A variety of kinds of play.

You are asking what’s the value

Of having your children play?

My classroom consists of 15, three year old students. My students come from many different cultural backgrounds. For many of these students, this is their first school experience. Each and every one of my students joined the classroom with their own personalities and brilliant ideas. Can you imagine the synergy when all of their ideas come together?

In our science center, we enjoy making observations and predictions. These scientific tools will help our smaller scientists during their experiments. We will also use our literacy toys to build preliteracy and prewriting skills. Theses skills will help us communicate our findings in written form.
