My Project

I am a new teacher in kindergarten and could really use toys for my kids to use during our oral language block. My students will really appreciate the variety of toy choices to use while they play.

My goal with this project is to get students to try something new or to make new friends by communicating their wants and needs while playing.

These items will be a huge benefit to my students, they will be able to play make-believe with multiple different toys that will help their imagination take off, including the costumes, marble run, and toy cars, all while sitting on this fun Playmat City Life 3D Playroom Rug.
