My Project

The materials requested will make a difference in their learning by allowing them to express themselves through imaginative play. The busy box items such as wooden sensory toys will allow students to use their fine motor skills as well as relax their minds. The carpet will allow the children to come together and look at the colors, letters, and different shapes.

Each item requested will bring joy and excitement to the children.

It will open their abilities with fine motor skills. Growing minds allow for growing hearts. By having these items in the classroom the children are being led down a path of success.
