My Students

My students are in PreK. At this age their minds are hard at work being creative and using their imagination. They are so much fun. They love building and pretend playing. Their ability to think outside the box is amazing at this age. I love watching them.

My Project

I want to expand my students block center by adding all different kinds of wooden blocks, cars and people to help them build a town. It will be a fun activity the children can do with their peers. It will promote turn taking and using creativity.

Imagination is crucial to a child’s early development.

We can use each part of the town individually for a center of add them all together. The wooden people is great for learning occupations.

This project will be great for pretend play. Thank you for considering my project.
