My Project

Our next unit of study is building. I would like to revamp our block center by providing my students with new materials to engage in play with. The materials I am requesting will allow my students to build, while relating to real life experiences. For example, students can create "their home" and use the requested block play people as their family, and the home blocks to create their home adding building features such as windows and door(s).

My goal is to provide my students with materials that will allow them to engage in play while expanding their knowledge on buildings.

My students are a group of children who truly enjoy building in our block center. I'm hoping to add these new materials in my block center to continue keeping my students engaged, allowing them to continue being creative with their building creations!

With these new materials, I can't wait to see what my students will create!
