Exciting Ways to Learn

Help me give my students ways to improve their learning and fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hoffman's classroom raised $1,254

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are wonderful chefs in dramatic play area. I love how they take care of each other with cooking for each other. Also they enjoy the doctor theme also. My students are a wonderful "family".I think they would enjoy the new experience of foods.

My Project

This project will help my students improve their fine motor and imaginative play skills through new materials. In this project i have included a cash register which will enhance their mathematical skills and allow them to practice real world activities through counting and purchasing a variety of foods that they will be purchasing at the grocery store; also it will help with healthy food choices. The stampers that we have chosen will help them recognize the letters of the alphabet which in turn they will become familiar with their name and items at a grocery store.
