My Project

The materials will help set the stage for learning. Each student will feel a sense of security and make connections with classroom books for example, food nutrition for the dramatic play area.

Children would be able to see and play with materials, for example playing with jumbo magnetic letters will expose them to their curiosity, cultural identities, phonics and eventually learn to read.

The materials will be used in different areas, for example the block area will have the block play traffic signs.

The traffic signs will help each child learn how to recognize street signs when going home by car, bus or walking.
