My Project

My diverse group of 3 and 4 year olds absolutely love books. Unfortunately, our selection of books is very small, so we are trying to build it up. Since they have little book experience, board books are the best choice.

They also love to build.

The building blocks will give them a novel toy to play that will encourage their exploration of building. The mega building blocks are for my students that have exhausted using the foam blocks we now have in our block area and need a novel building material that will support their curiosity and engagement.

The pencil grips are those students that are heading to kindergarten, but still have a hard time holding a pencil in the correct form.
