"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Our School/Town Blocks

Take photographs of  different places in the school - cafeteria, office, library, etc. Tape them to unit blocks so children can use them in the block center to build their school. You could add the "block people" discussed in a previous post, so the children could pretend to walk around the school. This could be a way to practice the routines and procedures for walking in the hallways.

Later on you could extend this to include community places such as the post office, police station, and other stores and places in your area.

Store blocks in a basket labled "Our School" or "Our Town".
