My Project

First off, thank you so much for looking at our project! The items on this list are vital for our all of our students, both general education and special education, to learn through pretend play, communicate with peers and explore new things. We are a collaborative program and our funding this year is extremely limited.

We play outdoors for about 2 hours each day, in this time there are stations set up for students to rotate through so a play house, kitchen, pretend food, huge outdoor blocks and storage are extremely necessary.

The toys we have right now are broken and very old.

With these materials outdoors our students will be able to play in the kitchen and play house with their peers. They blocks will support our "buildings" unit and get them talking about what they can do with the blocks. Our students do so much learning through play and all of the materials on our list will help us facilitate a fun and engaging outdoor play time.
