My Project

These items (Magnetic Monsters, Pipe Builders, Lion Boulder Blocks, Birds Tree Blocks, Alphabet Robot Toys, etc.) will be used throughout the school year in accordance to our weekly themes. These items will allow the students to use their imagination in building new things, while developing their growing skills.

Children learn through exploring and playing.

They experiment, attempt new things and learn to problem solve. Many of the items in this project align with STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) that allow the students to develop their critical thinking skills. They can plan and create what they want to build, build their structure, and problem solve if their original plan is not successful.
