Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Block play, a classic childhood activity, has been a cornerstone of early education for generations.Block play is more than just building towers and bridges; it's an educational powerhouse that promotes holistic development in young children. Block play is a kind of play in which kids build, design, and dream with blocks. Blocks serve as the medium for their creative and intellectual endeavors, much like when you give kids a blank canvas and a paintbrush. In block play, blocks are manipulated and arranged to form designs, patterns, and constructions. It enables youngsters to use their senses and creativity by promoting practical experimentation and exploration.

When children engage in block play, they're essentially little engineers.

Block play helps children develop spatial awareness, allowing them to understand how objects fit together in space. It's like solving a 3D puzzle with every block placed. Block play lays the groundwork for future mathematical comprehension by introducing basic math concepts like geometry, counting, and measurement in a concrete and relevant way.
