My Project

My first year students have been playing with some well loved toys throughout the year. Our current toys were generously left behind when the previous teacher retired. My students have watched several toys break throughout the year and have been so positive about the condition of the toys. I would love the students to have some new toys to be excited about as well as new options to choose from. They enjoy their free time play and are always willing to share with one another.

The board games will allow my students to have more options to choose from and encourage the students to work together as they play the games.

Our current doll house is in good shape however we are in need of new dolls to complete our set. Imaginary play allows the students to express creativity.

My goal is to provide my students with new toys that will enhance their play and new options to help keep things fresh. My students are very special to me and I would love to be able to provide them with updated toys.
