My Students

The best part of preschool is that our children get to PLAY! Please help us provide fun manipulatives to add to our "tub toy" shelf as well as materials for our community helpers theme. These toys are great language building materials for our little preschool students!

My students are special needs students that are ages 3 to 5 years old.

They attend a three-hour preschool where we work on all aspects of child development. Many of the students that attend our program have special needs such as hearing and vision impairments, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, etc. These disabilities often require additional personnel and materials in order for them to function in a classroom environment.

My Project

I am asking for materials that the children can play with that highlight our "community helpers" theme we do every year. These toys will help our kiddos use the new language they have learned in their play. I have asked for people and vehicles the students see in the community. I am also asking for hammering materials that will help strengthen the children's hand grip and improve hand-eye coordination. The other toys (i.e. 3D stampers and number pegs board) will help build our "tub toys" center for table work times.

We serve students in a high poverty area.

These children are often at-risk for educational delays. I want to provide the most educationally-rich and exciting environment possible for the special education preschool students.
