My Project

I am a new transitional kindergarten teacher and work at a low-income school in El Cajon, California. My students would love to be able to play with these educational toys to help them learn, grow, and love school. I currently don't have that many different toys for students to play with during our center time, so that is why I have chosen some different toys. My students will also be learning about the alphabet, so having items to display that start with each letter, that students can physically touch, would impact their learning even more!
