My Project

My class enjoys learning about their peers! We use Feelings Circles and Team Building acticitives to get to know one another and foster a sense of classroom community. One big piece that has been missing, is access to meaningful games (for both indoor and outdoor use) to explore building relationships through PLAY. Social enrichment is essential to creating a class of kind, caring, and respectful little learners.

We need your help to fill our classroom with board games, outdoor games, multi-sensory games, and more!

Our kiddos would be incredibly grateful and we will happily share materials with our entire grade level team!
