My Project

This project will be a great addition to our block center. My 3K students will be given the chance to explore like engineers, building with the different types of blocks as well as problem-solving with items such as the marble run. This will create endless possibilities and fun for my students. As they work, they will use important critical thinking skills while developing social skills.

"Through unstructured exploration, we foster the development of imagination and creativity".

Beth Rosenthal Davis

By listening to the stories I am asking for about buildings and shapes, my students will also increase their vocabulary skills, which is essential for our second language learners. Thank you for your continued support for our littlest learners!
