Help me give my students hands on learning experiences in an organized and stimulating classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Swafford's classroom raised $460

My Project

I love that my pre-k students are curious and excited about learning. In our early childhood classroom, we learn by doing. Our room must be organized and every inch utilized to create an inspiring atmosphere. With these various tools and materials, students will explore, create and discover the world around them.

Students will develop early literacy, math, and social skills through hands on projects, exploration, and imaginative play.

Our room will be organized for these specific areas. For example, reading centers, art centers, sensory centers, and imaginative play centers will be utilized. With these tools and materials, pre-k students will be inspired to work hard and learn as they explore.
