Let Your Imagination Run Wild!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harper's classroom raised $381

My Project

My little learners are just getting started with their imaginations and I am hoping to add some supplies to my room to help encourage them to let their imaginations run wild!

We will put out the paper, paint, and craft supplies (tape, staplers, feathers, foam pieces) in the art area, the new dress-up clothes in the dramatic play area, and kinetic sand in our sand table to encourage the kids to build, create and design projects without having to ask for supplies from the adults.

We want to encourage self-learners and foster an environment of positivity by letting the kids use the items when they feel the need to. We also want to encourage them to build with ABC blocks and use magnetic numbers to move their basic skills along too! They will have the chance to use all the new items and Let Their Imaginations Run Wild!!
