My Project

To kick off each new school year, I always give my students a Play-Doh and a book to read on the night before they start kindergarten. This coming year is no different.

I want to give my upcoming kindergarten students a new book that they can keep.

In addition, I would like to give them a Play-Doh that they can keep at home as well. Play-doh is a great resource for students to have to increase their fine motor skills and unleash their creativity. I would be so thrilled if I could provide my students with these items.
