My Project

My students LOVE to pretend and play. This helps build social skills and friendships within our classroom. My students need as much social play as possible. We are in need of some new items for centers in my SLC SPED classroom for next school year.

Dramatic play allows children learn to express themselves, understand different perspectives, and build crucial social skills.

We would love to have a cash register, the potato head family, magnatiles, and STEM building toys to add to our centers in our classroom. My students would be very happy and grateful to receive these materials.
