My Project

Help me give my students opportunities to learn through play! My students will be able to use the doctor's office and farmer's market to learn communication, problem solving, as well as practice academic skills. Purposeful play is an important initiative in our district and these supplies would allow my students to have exciting, realistic play opportunities. I also included supplies (construction paper, laminating pouches, and clipboards) for student and teacher created additions to the dramatic play centers. My students are a caring and resilient group. They were impacted by the pandemic and the materials in this project will help them develop the collaboration skills to thrive and be world changers in their future!
