Our students are Native American Lakota Sioux Indians. They are from some of the poorest communities in the US. Opportunities to explore these kinds of activities generally do not happen at home. Early and young learning happens through play, and manipulatives, which many of us have taken for granted are not realistically possible here. Often the choices for families are food and shelter over learning opportunities, such as play with purpose. Exploratory play is key to developing problem solving, creativity, visual manipulation, and fine motor skills. It also helps building cooperation between co-builders.
