My Project

Classroom blocks are a staple in our engineering/building area!

Students love the engineering/building area so we would like to offer engineering opportunities in other areas of our room.

Your support will help us purchase materials students will use to expand their understanding of physical science and engineering concepts. We want to include exploration in our outdoor play areas, our water and sensory tables and in our career exploration and dramatic play area.

The materials we have chosen will support all students in understanding how to test out ideas, make adjustments and solve problems using critical thinking.
