Block Centers


 Every day kindergartners and first graders enjoy opportunities for creative play. In small groups of three or four, as they play with blocks, cars, geotracks and marble runs, they learn how to collaborate, share ideas, and negotiate with each other. The children have also collaboratively designed a landscape of popcorn kernels, rocks, and twigs, explored  seashells and a variety of sea creatures in the ‘water table' and most recently playing with our "Tree House" has encouraged rich conversation about the rain forest as tree frogs and insects jump from layer to layer !
