My Project

This year I have lots of students of varying needs, abilities, and ages. Due to this, these new materials will go a long way with assisting them in being successful in their school careers.

The blocks and ramps will allow for more creativity in their creations of buildings and structures, as well as give students the opportunity to engineer different ramps and witness the changes in speeds with the different vehicles.

The people will allow for some dramatic play on the carpet with the blocks. The kinetic sand will help them with getting their sensory needs met. And the magnet tiles will allow for more options using our light table top.
