Manipulative Play: See It! Build It!

Funded Dec 30, 2024

Your contribution to our classroom has been a great asset to the students learning. The new items brought interest, creativity, along with smiles. The students were so excited to play with the magnetic tiles . They worked together to build great structures, and when they stood side by side making there own structure they had conversations with each other about what they were building. You could hear the students say, "pass me the yellow one" or " do you like my castle". This activity became such an interest that a timer had to be set so other children could get a turn.

Another item that kept the students interest was the kinetic sand. They were able to use molds of different things. They would either fill the mold with kinetic sand or press the mold down into the kinetic sand. The students loved to see the after effect of the kinetic sand molding into something, such as a sea shell or beach castle. Some just love putting their hands through it and getting the sensory sensation from it.

It is with great appreciation the students will continue to thrive in areas of development such as their language, social, and fine motor skills!”
