My Project

My student work very hard throughout the week and look forward to some free choice play time on fun Friday. I currently have some stem stations, but would like to provide more choice activities including creative play.

Since most of my students are from low income households, they do not have access to a doll house or other creative sets to play with.

I love to see my students use their imaginations and the happiness it brings through playing with each other.

My students will truly benefit from these items in many ways including learning problem solving skills and social skills of sharing and working together.
