My Project

Who doesn't love a roller coaster! With these 2 activity kits my students will be able to create their very own roller coaster on our class magnetic board. Through a process of trial and error the students will be able to explore how to move the balls/discs through the tunnels and tracks. My students spend 1/3 of their day engaged in various learning centers and I know these kits will bring so much excitement and exploration into our "I Can Build" center. I can only imagine the joy in their voices as they are using these kits!

I am also requesting individual subscriptions of My Big World with Clifford for the class.

These subscriptions will be used as a shared reading activity in class and will also be sent home for families to read and discuss with their children.
