oh mary thankyou for responding!!
so my daughter was with one school through gr.2 and this school
only grade three. it's a new school too... I was in awe of how
new the knobbed cylinders and metal insets were... so all your
suggestions are great. I thought about beads and pouches etc,
but those were the things I was afraid they would already
have. but, she likes science so ill run by the dissecting
thing... I think she will love it. ill research the tools, and
then she can design and put together the kit.
thankyou so much again, I really appreciate it.
