My Project

In pre-k, one of our units of study is the "water study." During each study, it is important that the students get hands-on experiences. For our water study, I am asking for a water table and toys in order to allow the students to learn through play. Children are intrinsically curious about water, and water play is one of their favorite choice activities. These toys would support the children's learning while making it fun. Water play will engage students in cooperative play and help develop problem-solving skills.

This project will create a dynamic learning environment where students can learn through sensory play, teamwork, and experimentation.
