My Project

These materials will be used in a 3K class to transform the classroom into a construction site full of engaging experiences. The students will be able to dress up in the construction vests and hard hats and create buildings using the blocks. They will be able to use their imagination to create blueprints using the blue paper and white crayons. They will create bulldozers and trucks using the magna tiles to explore. Their minds will travel to new places as they gather around for story time with these exciting books.

With such a fun and loving group, I can't wait to see how these materials will help them to soar in exploring this new topic.

This class loves to use their imagination when playing and I know these toys will help them take that to the next level. Thank you so much for supporting our class!
