My Project

The children in my classroom are at the point in their school year when they are excited to learn more concrete objectives! They love being in the classroom together and work hard!

Help them grow their creative and higher critical skills through this loose parts project!

Loose parts in the classroom are beneficial for many reasons. Children learn to focus, be independent and creative thinkers, and develop problem solving skills when working with manipulatives. The manipulatives in this project also help to build fine motor skills!

We are excited about this project!
