My class is full of spunky preschoolers who always keep the day fun and interesting. I teach mostly all underprivileged children, as our school is near low income households. They are all so eager to get out and learn through playing with their peers during center time since the last year and a half has kept the majority of these kids homebound without proper resources to learn and play with children their age.
My Project
These materials will help my young preschoolers to learn through playing, which is crucial to their development in future academics. The majority of my students come from low income families and don't always have the necessary resources to create engaging and necessary play environments; especially during the last year and a half of being stuck at home.
The requested materials will allow for more creative and diverse dramatic play time, and will allow my students to learn about a variety of occupations and real-life situations they might not have been able to without the help of these materials.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
