My Project

The products that I have selected will help support my students in many ways. The Silly Science Set will enhance their fine motor skills while also enhancing their cognitive development and problem-solving skills. The Montessori Life Cycle Learning & / Educational Toys would be a perfect fit in our science center. The Binoculars are a necessity being as though we don’t have any in the classroom. The sensory Mats would be a great addition to my classroom because they provide diverse textures and materials that stimulate the senses which help children develop their tactical, visual and sometimes auditory senses. All art materials are needed in the classroom and will enhance my preschoolers’ learning experiences.

The art materials and science materials are essential for my classroom.
