Get Them Talking and Hope They Don't Stop!

Help me give my students materials that will enrich their learning and language by using their imagination and fine motor skills through building with magnetic tiles and building blocks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. C's classroom raised $600

This project is fully funded

My Students

My kiddos are ages 3-5 and qualify for my Early Childhood Developmentally Delayed classroom because of their difficulties processing language, speaking in full sentences, or saying appropriate sounds in order to get their needs met. My classroom also has students with autism who are nonverbal. We spend a lot of time playing with toys that generate language. We also play with toys that help these young students learn to use their fine motor skills, problem solve, or become more aware of their environment.

My students have a strong desire to learn and to communicate with the world around them.

My Project

My students work one on one with an adult to facilitate and encourage development in both delayed motor skills and language. These toys will help them learn to repeat words and sounds. They will help with sorting and recall. Most of them do not have developmentally appropriate toys at home.

They need to have opportunities to use their imagination to build 'monsters' and 'robots' and 'dinosaurs.

I chose many magnet toys because the children can use their fine motor grip in fun new ways as they construct their masterpieces every day.
