Pets, Vets, and Manipulatives Oh MY!

My Project

This has been a crazy school year! I recently took over a three and four year old classroom that was fully teacher funded. Help me bring back their favorite magnet and Lego manipulatives. These children can build and create all sorts of things with those blocks with developing cognitive and fine motor skills. They have been begging for a animal Lego set.

This project will support our next learning study.

We will start learning about pets soon. Theses items will bring new imagination play to the dramatic play area.

These pet/vet toys will provide the children the opportunity to learn responsibility, empathy, and nurturing skills

This class loves reading! These books will help us learn more about pets and help with early literacy skills.

All of these items will support young children development skills such as social emotional, cognitive, fine motor, literacy and language .
