Learning Is Fun

Help me give my students cars, trucks, puzzles and chairs for my students to continue to enjoy their love for learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simms's classroom raised $1,109

My Students

My Head Start students love learning new things and are always excited for a new day at school. I am always looking for new, creative ways and materials to keep them engaged in their learning.

My 4 and 5 year old Head Start students attend a Title I school, with limited funds for resources and supplies.

At the beginning of the year, my students come to school ready to learn and grow. I am always so proud of how much each of my students grows during Head Start and I enjoy the journey each year.

My Project

Play is very important to a child's development. These materials will support their learning journey and help them develop skills through play.

This project will help my students use their imagination, build their language skills, leadership skills, social skills, and be comfortable while learning.

My preschool students will have the opportunity to learn through play. They will learn through play with trucks, science puzzles, a pretend tool kit and baby dolls with a high chair for dramatic play.

My students would love to have new chairs in the classroom. They will be comfortable while learning and playing with their classmates.

We have limited supplies, so getting this project funded will greatly benefit my students.
