Learning to Play!

Help me give my students toys to play with to increase social skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Turkette's classroom raised $215

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is a special needs classroom for three-year-olds. Many of the students do not know how to appropriately play with others. They also do not like to share. I want some new toys to promote engagement and social skills. The Lakeshore mix-and-match waterfalls are a wonderful sensory toy. My students love to play with water! The Around Town rug will give them a track to play with cars when playing with a peer. The construction vehicles will be great with the rug. Finally, the push button play phone will be great in our kitchen center so little friends can practice numbers and communication.
