My Project
My students truly make the best out of anything. We currently have a water table and are learning how to recycle. They are using water bottles and measuring cups & having a blast doing it. They love to relax in our library, or play in the block area. I’d really appreciate more table toys for them to enjoy. My goal is to provide them with more tools to help them grow in the classroom. Thank you for your donations, we really appreciate them! My students are going to be thrilled with new goodies in our classroom!
