My Project

These hands-on building toys and sensory materials will help my students take their imaginary play further while also building social-emotional and problem-solving skills! These materials are also so helpful in building fine motor skills.

We are in the middle of our school year and it is wonderful to watch friendships grow and evolve during our time playing and working together.

We are also introducing a new study of music and it's amazing to watch the kids explore musical instruments. The problem-solving skills they are building in their three-year-old classroom are crucial to becoming the problem solvers and innovators of tomorrow!
