Learning Through Play Centers!

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn through play and interest centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Burns's classroom raised $343

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have 14 students in my classroom. My students come to school each day bright, beaming, eager to learn, and always with a smile. As they enter into the building each day, they are willing to meet every challenge that is set before them. They are always ready to learn new things.

My students are eager to learn in our new face to face environment filled with plexiglass and social distancing.

This is a trying time for them and they are doing their best as we face day to day challengesl

My Project

These materials will be used in our play centers each day. The materials will help add an element of academics to each center. Centers will be aligned to state standards, themes, and students will continue to get the much needed practice needed.

Students will be able to practice letters, sounds, blending and segmenting.

They will be able to practice numeracy, counting objects, and number identification as they move through the room. These materials will allow students to build on what they already know while fostering subject base vocabulary and automaticity.
