My Project

Students explore topics within our classroom and move from center to center to explore new things. If students had these resources, they could build and learn about trains. Students could build tracks and take the trains around the station to explore the lovely world of trains. The goal within our classroom is always to be learning through play.

If students are introduced to amazing things within our world, they will have a broader understanding of how our world works.

Learning can be fun and can be done completely through play if the students have the resources.

Our PreK classroom is a room filled with first time experiences and this center could be an amazing first train experience for many children.
