My Project

In special Ed. pre-k, we learn some of our greatest lessons through dramatic play. The dramatic play and general materials in my classroom reflect a typically male-dominated student roster. I have more than enough cars, blocks, construction vehicles, dinosaurs and superhero costumes.

I need some sparkle in my room for the students that like to dress like a princess, play with glitter and love everything pink and purple.

Some students prefer flowers to Matchbox and building gardens to building parking garages.

Thank you for donations to my special education pre- k classroom!
