My Project

My Pre-K class loves our discovery area. The science kits with specimens will be a big hit. Stem brick building and a balance will give them a chance to problem solve.

My students are sensory seekers.

They love to build and explore with play doh. The wobble seat and inflatable seats will help my friends that struggle with sitting for extended time. Sometimes we need to release some wiggles.

Pre-k is all about read alouds. We love story time! My friends will love retelling our stories in the library with felt characters.
