Project time for Pre-K and preschool

Use this template during project time in your Pre-K or preschool classroom to help young children work together and follow simple steps. The screen shows today's plan, groups, a countdown to an exciting event, and a checklist to keep the class on track.

Children will see bright visuals, their group names, and what to do next. The screen makes it easy for everyone to follow along, even if they cannot read yet.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
