My Project

This time of year, many of our classroom materials are worn out or broken. I would love my students to have new materials, puzzles and fresh play-doh to use. We still have 4 weeks of learning as I prepare my Pre-K class for kindergarten.

Please help me fill the room with these needed materials to make each center inviting and fun!

The journals give each student a place to write and draw and then they can take the journals home to continue to write and illustrate over the summer. The stencils add fine motor practice and an opportunity to increase vocabulary while on the plqyground during outdoor learning time.
