My Project

My students absolutely love our Fun Friday time and most importantly our classroom toys.

For a long time, I have planned to purchase a dramatic play center to give my students the opportunity to improve their language development and social skills.

Many of my students lack creativity and struggle with appropriate social interactions, therefore I would like to provide more opportunities to learn through play. Kindergarten is such a crucial year for a child and will leave a lasting impression.

Please help me bring more dramatic play into our classroom!
