My Project

In my kindergarten classroom, we do lots of hands-on activities throughout the day. These new activities will give us some new opportunities to learn while having fun. The number blocks will help them practice adding while designing and building things. The STEM Challenge will help them problem solve and create new designs using various puzzle like pieces. The Block Scales will help them with creating equal, more than, and less than number problems. The Tangle Twistable help with creating different patterns while mixing and matching pieces. Lastly, the Pop-it Builders will help with keeping the kiddos engaged in their learning by giving them manipulatives to work with while building words. All these resources will help us create new learning challenges to help us reinforce learned skills and practice new.

My young students love to create, build and design different things.

I love that that my students are learning and don't even realize it, because they are having so much fun.
