My Project

All of my students love to learn through play. They become inspired and their imaginations run free. Play time is also when so many of our life skills, such as cooperation, patience and friendship, are learned and practiced.

I am asking for a wide array of play items to help foster imagination and creativity while students acquire and practice life skills!

Items such as dress up costumes allow students to imagine their futures while working with others in dramatic play. Train tracks and engineering mouse tracks are a great way for students to work together to design and create imaginative places. Many students in my class enjoy playing at family, where they can practice what they've learned in their own lives while working cooperatively with peers. Others in my class enjoy creating through art with playdough and foam craft balls, creating things only they can dream of. Creative play is one of my students favorite ways to learn!
