Interactive Play Centers Help Us Learn!

Help me give my students the ability to experience real world occupations through interactive play.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kennedy's classroom raised $614

This project is fully funded

My Project

Interactive play centers are the door to learning for my students. My students in Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) learning skills are taught through play. Not only do my students learn how to share, organize, and clean-up their play area, they also learn about different types of occupations and how they work.

By donating to our project, you will be helping UTK students learn about different occupations that exist in the real world.

Our littlest learners learn more through interactive play than sitting and listening to a teacher. Therefore, we love to play, play, play!
