We Love Choice Time! How About You?

My Project

Choice time in Pre-K is the most magical time of the day. It is the part of the day where students interact with one another and form relationships, all while building their minds and exploring their creativity and curiosity. Throughout our centers, students engage in meaningful play and we would love to enhance our choice time with some activities and manipulatives.

The storytelling kit would help students build their oral language and their storytelling skills.

The magnets and ramp would help students experiment with physical science concepts such as push and pull. The flair pens and doodle boards would help students practice writing their abcs, cvc words and their names. The flair pens and the ABC stickers would also give the students more materials when making cards, letters or books. The mirrors would help students when drawing self portraits or documenting how they have changed throughout the year. The scarves and the streamers would give more opportunities for the students to move in music and movement. The board game would help students to practice team work as well as math skills.

Our students are always asking questions and wanting to further their learning through choice time. We would love to help make choice time even more engaging through these materials. Help us to keep our students making fun memories in prek!
