My Project

My Young Fives students love to play with toys like blocks and in our dramatic play center. These materials all link to our science and math curricula and will give the students more chances to explore the STEM concepts we learn about - like simple machines, sorting, tools, and counting.

Young children learn through play, and the best materials are engaging and fun for them to use.

They will enjoy playing with all these materials, and I will be able to use them to help teach math and science concepts.
