My Project

My students are eager to learn and with that comes the need to continue to enrich their environment! Wooden blocks are a staple of an early childhood education because it helps build so many skills and I would love to provide my students with these opportunities. Building with wooden blocks touches on math and science concepts, enriches their social skills and motor development, and most importantly, their sparks their creativity.

Building a block structure together in PreK takes a lot of skill!

Children have to share blocks, agree on what to build and how to build it, negotiate the tasks involved and sort out disagreements along the way. The vehicles and train will only help them expand upon their creativity and interest!
