Helping Kids Help Themselves

Help me give my students independence and skills to be leaders through imagination and play.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Turner's classroom raised $699

This project is fully funded

My Project

These items are to give kids building blocks to help with their imaginations and emotions. During these times, kids are exposed to so much negative in the world, and they have no outlet. They also need to learn acceptable social behavior, play together, and learn how to work out problems without adult assistance. That is what the magnetic blocks will do; they will work together to build up their imaginations and social skills.

The fidget toys and therapy putty will help them focus, calm down, and deal with their emotions.

The chair pockets will ensure that student materials are organized and right at their fingertips. Thank you for supporting our future.
