Making Learning Fun

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wachter's classroom raised $363

My Project

You can always spot the students’ favorite toys and books—they’re the ones that look the most “loved.” Year after year, little hands reach for these treasures, and by the end of the year, some are just too loved to keep and must be retired.

In Pre-K, every new discovery feels magical, and learning is always an adventure.

That’s why these new materials are so exciting! Yoto Cards and cozy storybooks will add new favorites to our library, while alphabet play toys will make center time even more hands-on and full of giggles. These fresh treasures will spark curiosity, inspire imagination, and open up a whole new world of play and learning for our little explorers!
