My Project

My students come to school each day eager to learn, explore, and create. For many of my students, my classroom is the only opportunity they have to experience a wide variety of toys and materials. This year my students are particularly interested in creating things with a manipulatives. I recently borrowed Playstix from a coworker! The kids played with them for hours.

I would like add the very popular Playstix construction toys to my classroom.

I look forward to providing my students with new opportunities to use their imagination and creativity. The Playstix will be used both during free play as well as with teacher directed activities.
