Learning Through Play

Help me give my students learning materials and toys that will support their pre-academic, play, and language needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richter's classroom raised $477

This project is fully funded

My Project

These toys and learning materials will support my students' learning and language through play. Each day, my students partake in learning stations. The chosen toys will be used during the stations to gain skills that will support play and language development. Paired with specific books, each toy will help engage students and grow their language abilities as well as teach academic concepts.

Children learn through play.

In my classroom, the students have various disabilities. My students gain skills in language and academics through hands on play. In order to support these needs, it is imperative to have toys that can help build these skills. These materials will be invaluable to my students and will be used daily in order to strengthen each child's language, play and academic skills.
