“I used these bricks with a group of children to support social emotional development. They worked with a TA to create the items. They had to take turns and share. There was a lot of having to be patient and listening to others ideas. The kit was then used for language extension with a target group. These kids were then the experts when the kit was introduced to everyone else in the class.”
