The purposeful play should not stop when students enter to Kindergarten. When they play they are negotiating, working together and are engaged on what they are doing so with rigor. When I say center time, my students shout “yeah”. With this project, my students will have the opportunity to enhance their learning, as they will learn, think, and construct knowledge. “Play is the work of children”. The students will use this instant learning centers everyday in small groups. These learning centers have enough materials for up to 4 children to work at once, including a double-sided instructional chart with simple pictures instructions making it easy to read/understand, and accessible for everyone. Instead of gain knowledge secondhand, by listening to someone else telling them, they will be the ones who are receiving information directly and making sense of it. Students will be involved in materials that cover a wide range of early ELA and Math skills based on the Common Core Standards. Moreover, knowledge of subject matter is not enough. It is not only about textbooks. I need to expand and extend my children’s learning. These centers have everything students need starting from building beginning language skills all the way to mastery early math skills. These concepts are like the first rung on a ladder of learning. This project will help my students to have playful and joyful experiences in Kindergarten as they will have fun and learn at the same time. My students will acquire the solid foundation needed for further grades and develop positive attitudes toward learning. This project will positively impact my students learning.
