Favorite Pink Tower extensions - what are yours?
The Pink Tower extensions are truly endless! My class loves building the tower together with the Broad Stair, then extending it to the red rods. What are your favorite combinations and how do you introduce them over the year?

Helping a child who avoids math materials
My 5-year-old loves language and art but completely avoids anything math-related. She refuses the number rods and bead materials. Has anyone navigated this successfully? Should I follow the child or gently encourage exploration?

Grace & courtesy lessons for sharing materials
I have several 3-year-olds struggling with sharing shelf materials and waiting for turns. Has anyone developed specific grace and courtesy lessons around the concept of waiting and respecting another child's work?
