My Project

My kindergarten students are so sweet, lively, and fun! Their favorite part of our day is learning, being with their friends, and playing (of course!). Watching and participating in playtime is also my favorite part of the day because it gives me an opportunity to see how my students are growing meaningful relationships with one another, building appropriate communication and problem-solving skills, and exploring new skills and interests.

Though I do provide plenty of play time each day, our classroom is lacking in materials to promote meaningful and collaborative play, which is why we are requesting these new games and toys!
