Our block centre has quickly become a classroom favourite. The students love to build and make new creations everyday. When the students are building they are learning to explore and experiment with different materials, they are learning to be creative, to work on sharing and they are even learning about different math concepts.
The block centre is a great place for students to refine their language skills. They begin to talk through what they are doing either to themselves or to their partner. They communicate with each other when they are using their imagination to create stories to go along with their creations. A goal of ours is to have the students step back from their creations and to try explaining what they have created using their own vocabulary. Follows the links below to listen to some of our students explaining their own creations.
