We have a unit on construction that many students struggle through. Concepts like stability, base, foundation, and functionality are very difficult for kindergarteners to understand. With these manga tiles and blocks students will see first hand what all of these concepts mean. You can help nurture the developing minds of tomorrow's architects and engineers. Everyday students spend a significant amount of time on the rug, during morning meeting and instructional time. A student that has difficulty sitting on the rug will not be able to focus. These flex-space comfy seating will help students sit easier, so they can focus on learning. Each material chosen will aid in a student's success. Whether it be helping students to focus, or helping students to learn in a hands on way. Please help contribute to that success.
