Construction Time!

Help me give my students materials to learn all about construction through play and other learning activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DiCicco's classroom raised $297

My Project

In a few weeks, my preschool students will start to learn all about construction. Please help me by getting these materials to engage them in this topic.

I will be turning my dramatic play area into a construction zone complete with tools and construction outfits.

The block center will become a road construction site. The new books in our library center will allow students to explore this topic even further. Table centers, such as the Construct-A Letter center, will allow students to learn about letters and practice fine motor skills within our construction theme.
