My Project

My students absolutely love building with planks, building bricks, magnetic tiles - they love it all. They are so creative with their building techniques and ideas. From the small kids to the big kids, they like to collaborate to build structures. My littlest kids have been obsessed with building zoos of various sizes and shapes. They like to combine the magnetic tiles and planks with our collection of both stuffed animals and plastic animals to make a zoo of their dreams.

The STEAM Lab has moved classrooms and added an additional table, so now we need your help to add more building sets in order for that table to have their own supplies.
