My Project

My students need different types of manipulatives for building structures to gain problem solving skills as well as social emotional skills. By working together to create projects, my babies will begin to learn about turn-taking, sharing, compromising, and cooperating with others.

These very important life skills can begin to be taught now, with the proper materials!

The block sets, magnetic monsters and sensory play sand will encourage turn-taking, cooperation and compromise because my students will work together in small groups to create structures of their own choosing.

The storage baskets will allow my students to sort the objects for easy clean up. The baskets also allow the classroom to be a clean, organized and inviting place to be. We would greatly appreciate your support for this project!
