Play Is the Way In TK

Help me give my students sensory and dramatic play materials to reinforce their learning through play!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Newman's classroom raised $387

My Project

My students are very active and curious about the world around them. They are a group of four and five-year-old transitional kindergarten, TK, students that are learning to navigate their first year of school through play!

These fun sensory and dramatic play materials will help create a safe place for my students to continue to grow and develop through play.

Throughout the day, my students have many opportunities for dramatic and sensory play. Some of their favorite areas of the room are the house and building areas. They will be able to use the baby accessories and kid cleaning set to enhance their play. They also love our current sensory table, so this new one would allow play both inside and out, as well as water play. The variety of play materials will allow students the opportunity to use their imagination for dramatic play and will help continue the excitement they have for learning.
