My Project

My curious Pre-K students thrive when learning is active, hands-on, and engaging! With these new sports balls, movement dice, and sports-themed books, my students will have the tools they need to develop essential motor skills while sparking a love for reading. The movement dice will turn physical activity into a fun, interactive game that encourages cooperation and following directions, while the sports balls will help build coordination and teamwork. Pairing these active tools with sports-themed stories will allow us to connect physical play with early literacy, showing our youngest learners that staying active and reading go hand-in-hand.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
