My Project

My class uses small groups for intensive interventions for students. I would like to introduce a play corner for them to use during these rotations. These materials are stimulating for problem-solving skills, 1:1 correspondence, and parts of the whole.

These are puzzles and blocks that are of high interest and engaging for students to learn and play with.

I have had several successful projects, and the classroom feels fuller, more engaging, and a thoughtful place for my students. My students also deserve access to fun and engaging play materials.
