My Project

This age group has always been my favorite to teach, and we support even the tiniest of goals and their smiles are worth it!

PreK involves exploration, investigation, and imagination to set the course for learning.

My students seek and soak up information like little sponges and absorb all the excitement around them.

We are busier than ever in the classroom, and STEM learning is great for supporting those who may struggle to absorb some of the basic skills of learning on their own. Our classroom supports more simple concepts like building, measuring, problem-solving, and experimenting. This allows them to create and manipulate ways to make things work.

We will benefit greatly from the use of STEM activities and this will provide our students the opportunity to choose and accomplish small steps in their academic goals in basic PreK skills to get them ready for kindergarten.
