I'm Not Playing, I'm LEARNING!

Help me give my students hands on learning that is integrated into our center areas. The bookcase will enable us to put books in the dramatic play area.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thurber's classroom raised $1,001

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in a inclusionary preschool where children ages 3-5 are able to play, learn, sing, and grow together. We have general education students and students with special needs that learn from and cheer on each other.

We learn math from hands on experiences, social skills through play, and reading from songs, rhymes, and our environment.

Our classroom encourages discovery, love of learning, and curiosity.

My Project

I am so excited for the materials in my project. Research shows that young students learn best through play and exploring their environment. This is even more important for my at risk learners and those with special needs.

Each of these items helps us as teachers to integrate reading and math into each child's high interest activities.

We are able practice and teach social skills, turn taking, and executive function skills through these engaging activities. I am very excited to have an book shelf in our dramatic play area. It is one of the most popular areas in the classroom and it will make a difference to incorporate even more reading into the area. The work we do in preschool sets the stage for the rest of a child's learning and progression throughout school.
