Ms. Celi from Wilmington DE is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Learning Through Play

Help me give my students developmentally appropriate play materials such as LEGO, Melissa & Doug, and Peppa Pig play sets that build imagination, creativity, and problem-solving. Teaching play skills helps support their cognitive development.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I teach special education preschool and travel to different schools and daycares to work with students that have cognitive, social emotional, and/or communication delays. All my students benefit from learning in their natural environment through play. I plan to use these toys and puzzles to teach my students the skills they need to be successful learners in their general classroom.

The ice cream play set, LEGO Duplos, travel train set, Peppa Pig house, and baby dolls are very motivating for my students.

I have incorporated their interests into these learning materials. I will be able to model language, social, and play skills that align to the children’s iep goals. Multiple students will benefit from these materials since they will be traveling to different schools for students to use and benefit from.
