My Project

This project will allow my kindergarten students the opportunity to explore using Building Blocks, Flower Garden building Blocks, and other hands-on manipulatives. Through this imaginative play, they can create, invent, and try out their ideas. They will have the opportunity to write about their findings and share their ideas with classmates.

All items on my wish list are geared for hands-on exploration.

Students will have the opportunity to use items to explore science on a multi-sensory level. This exploration is much more than "play". Giving them the chance to create, fail, and re-create helps them figure out the world around them.

I have 22 students with varying backgrounds. Your support is greatly appreciated.
