Help support Mrs. Regier's Classroom

My students are in their first year of public school; however the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed developmental milestones necessary for them to have a solid start to formal schooling. To address these delays, I am requesting materials for developmentally appropriate learning centers to help my students develop their problem-solving skills, communication skills, cooperation skills, and fine motor skills. At learning centers, all students of all ability levels are engaged and learning together. Learning through play at centers allows children to develop academic skills but also develop appropriate behaviors and interactions in a social, hands-on setting. An art easel would allow students to communicate through the expression of their creativity and feelings; art is one starting point for emergent writing. A sand/water table would develop sensory awareness through exploration and discovery; the "what-ifs" of discovery transfer to problem-solving strategies. A train set would complement our current block center. Students would work together building their communication skills, problem-solving skills, and imagination. All of the requested materials for learning centers build fine motor skills necessary for future school work. My young children learn best through hands-on and play-based opportunities. We work on strong bodies, smart brains, and kind hearts in all our lessons. These materials would do just that! Just playing is learning for us!
