My Project

We have recently adopted a new curriculum, which includes learning about five habitats. Items like garden toys, PicassoTiles, and Magna Tiles that we have included in our project will help to support the learning and imaginary play components all while learning about each habitat.

Students learn through play and imagination and will get lots of time with these new toys to do just that.

With the variety of items like games, puzzles, books, and toys, my students will get many opportunities to learn and explore the different habitats.

My students would be so excited to get these amazing items to enhance their learning and understanding of the habitats.
