My Project

I love helping students grow academically and socially. In kindergarten, my students grow significantly by the end of the year.

Students enjoy learning and trying new things in kindergarten, but they also love doing things they want, such as the tried-and-true activity of playing with Legos.

Please help me obtain Legos and Lego supplies (Lego people, baseplates for students to create their designs, and bins to store the Legos) for my kids. It's so much fun to watch the kids imagine, make, and play with Legos. It also helps them grow socially when they work together and share with their peers. It is also an excellent way for students to develop their fine motor skills.

The wooden dolls are also another play tool we will use in my room with our dollhouse (the dolls will be well worn after a good use during the school year).
