My Project

This project will help give students a more well-rounded variety of learning materials in our classroom. The soft blocks, magnetic puzzles, and magnetic writing boards will offer students a wide variety of self-directed learning opportunities. The easy to handle storage containers will help them clean up after playing and store their materials appropriately.

Enhancing independent play and learning is a cornerstone of our classroom.

This project will let my students become self-directed learners and will help to foster social experiences through sharing and cooperative play. These items will be so beneficial to my students so thank you for considering this project!
