My Project

My Pre-K students love to dig in and get their hands dirty. They are an amazing group of students who deserve the best tools to learn. They are extremely caring and considerate of each other and all of their teachers. Being able to learn letters, numbers, and shapes while playing is a great way for them to learn. They will also be able to have conversations with their friends as they work cooperatively to create and build different objects. Kinetic sand is a great way for them to improve their fine motor skills as well as their vocabulary.
