My Project

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students love exploring and learning new things every day. Our classroom Science center is a magnet during play driven exploratory learning time. It is time for a Science expansion.

These Science Viewers will give my students a view into the wonders of nature with life-like photos in a fun and interactive experience.

The boys and girls love reading about all kinds of animals and insects. These viewers will enrich their learning with vivid pictures of sea life, insects & spiders, birds, animals, the solar system, and life-cycles. With all of the choices available to the students, they will have the opportunity to select what interests them and enhance their learning.
