What better way to encourage and motivate students than to bring play into the classroom! The addition of Hardwood unit blocks in our class encourages creative expression while allowing students to engage in STEM experiences as they utilize math, science, and engineering skills in a fun, engaging, and collaborative way with peers. Hardwood unit blocks also serve as an open-ended tool that is accessible to all students of all backgrounds, giving students the opportunity to learn from each other and work cooperatively. This allows me the opportunity to bridge play and learning in the classroom. Best of all, student creations are preserved and posted as pictures in our classroom, giving our engineers the opportunity to display their work.
