My Project

Our students are excited to learn and expand their knowledge about science, technology, engineering, art, and math! Puzzles and Legos will help us to do exactly that!

Puzzles and LEGOs help children to build fine motor skills, hand/eye coordination, and the ability to sort by color, size, and shape!

They also encourage problem solving, team work, and visual/spatial awareness.

These materials will help to enhance our dedicated space within our building to STEAM learning in Early Childhood Education. As we all know, PLAY is the work of the young child! Let's get to work!
