My Project

The students enjoy exploring the learning centers in the classroom. Providing the students with the materials needed will help enhance their learning environment. The students will have the opportunity to explore/use the requested materials daily. The students will demonstrate fine motor strength and coordination by writing and using small tools to create shapes, letters, and sculptures with play dough.

The students will move their bodies and make music with their new radio and musical instruments.

Our current CD player no longer works and music time is missed.

These materials will enhance the students' physical development throughout the school year.
