Bringing Learning to Life Through Play!

Help me give my students new materials to play, create and imagine during centers!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Haywood's classroom raised $416

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Kindergarteners learn best through play! Everyday we have center time where students can bring their learning to life. A popular area is the the dollhouse and dramatic play area. We need more dolls and new furniture in our dollhouse as many of them have broken over the years. In the spring we learn all about planting and seeds and the environment. The planting set will allow our students to act out planting in the dramatic play area.

Any donations are welcomed, and these materials will make such a huge difference in our classroom!

Thank you so much in advance!
