Help Pre-K Stay In Touch

My students need two way radios.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Greene's classroom raised $312

My Students

Do you remember pretending to play telephone with your friends in school? Instead of pretending lets make this a reality with two way radios.

I teach Pre Kindergarten to eighteen wonderful children in the New York Area.

These children are so fun loving and full of life. We have an amazing school with great children who deserve to have a chance to use their creative imagination through play.

My Project

Wouldn't it be great if children didn't have to pretend to talk to each other through bananas or strings? I have been teaching over ten years and every year the children play with bananas and other objects to pretend they are on the telephone talking to one another. One of the children asked me if they could use the phone in the class to pretend to talk to another child. I said, "We can't use that phone in case the principal needs us." Then, I told the child I would do my very best to get them a two way radio to talk to one another. These two way radios will also be helpful when we go on class trips as well as when we go to the local park. We would be able to be in touch with the main office at all times. This would be a great a security system for our kids as well as a great way for them to socialize with one another.

You will make it possible for the children to learn through socialization.

This is a great way for children who do not talk as much to feel a little more comfortable with their friends by talking on a two way radio. They will be able to use their imagination and come up with creative games to play with one another. These radios will also be used as a security system when we go outside daily to the local park as well as on trips. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
