My Project

It's no secret that Kindergarten students love to play AND talk! These building toys allow us to start our school day in a focused and fun way, which means we can play productively and talk with our friends!

With compromise and discussion, students build and play together to start their school day!

When students arrive in the morning, their table group chooses one morning tub to bring back to their table. This allows students a purposeful way to chat with friends while still learning through play. You would be amazed at the fun creations students collaborate to make! As you can see, Magna-Tiles and building blocks are favorites in our classroom, which is why there are so many fun, imaginative sets and storage totes in this request. Thank you so much for caring about our classroom!
