Playtime Perfected

Help me give my students manipulatives for learning and free choice time play. We need blocks and cube manipulatives for sorting and counting. The play food and toys will build up our classroom dramatic play area

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Detmer's classroom raised $1,088

My Project

The items for this project will enhance our daily routine tremendously. The blocks and cube manipulatives will help with sorting and counting. The play food and toys will build up our classroom dramatic play area. They love making dinner for their friends and will enjoy cooking all the new food. The writing boards will reinforce number practice. The sand is wonderful for writing letters on a tray. The students also love discovering hidden shapes and toys inside a tub of sand. Ice cream alphabet sorters will be a creative way to match our letters. Thank you for reading about our classroom wishes!
