Post # 1 - Counting on blocks with the kiddos.

We are starting a new school year. My students are very young but every year I am more surprised with the abilities and knowledge of preschool children.

During this activity, we not only worked on motor coordination and eye-hand coordination, but it was also an ideal opportunity to explore our engineering corner and build towers with the goal of counting.

The interesting thing about this activity is that each student had the opportunity to build their towers with blocks of different sizes, so the quantities varied with each one of them, this gave us the opportunity to count different quantities each time and explore different numbers.

This activity was very engaging for the children and has the advantage that the children could count through a movement activity.
