My Project

My students come from many different home environments, including military families and a variety of different socioeconomic homes. Some students have never visited anywhere farther than their home city, while others have moved around to many different places. These students have different perspectives and understandings about the world around them.

The use of these materials will help students learn through play that there are many types of homes and environments that differ from their own.

While playing at the block center, students will use these materials to see, build, and play with block people that may look different from themselves, as well as play and build with homes that they may have never seen. Supporting play through the use of these materials will help open the minds of theses students worlds.
