The sets of blocks have not yet been introduced into our \"Centers Time\" rotations, but they are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to build fantastic cities/buildings.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this excitement take place in the hearts and minds of my kindergarteners!

Their curiosity and joy reminded me how powerful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nWe're especially looking forward to starting our upcoming unit on the solar system.
