5 Pre-K Classes and No Playground... Help!- Pt. 1

My students need a Great Outdoors Playhouse to create an outside area for 5 Pre-K classes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kimbrough's classroom raised $337

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are Pre-K/EC, and their age ranges from 3-5. They class is blended with children with different types of special needs (Autism, Developmental Delays, fine and gross motor delays, Speech Delay, and other Disorders). All of the students have some type of language and communication deficits. The students have difficulty understanding language and communicating their wants and needs. We use several augmentative communication devices, sign language to communicate, and picture symbols.

The school is a Title I school with 100% of the students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Most of the parents are single parents, which leaves little money to help with materials needed in the classroom.

My Project

We have 5 Pre-K classes at our school. Our students need an engaging area during outside play. The older students at the school have designated playground areas they use daily. However, the Pre-k students have very little items that they are able to play with outside.

Outside play is very important for our Pre-K students because this is where they learn most of their social skills.

Having the Great Outdoors Playhouse will enable the students to have fun while learning needed social skills. The typical and special education Pre-K students will be able to play together and learn from each other.
