My Project

In early childhood, play is the foundation for all learning. Young children need an environment that is rich with materials that spark their interest. I am requesting items such as LEGO building blocks, a Little People Playhouse, and a Batman playset. These materials will not only encourage imagination and cooperative play, they will also bring much joy to my students.

I am also requesting items such as Magnetic Blocks, Changing Seasons Sensory Tubes, and Letter Matching Eggs to foster math, science, and literacy exploration.

New play materials will make a huge impact on my students' growth and development. Thank you so much for supporting early childhood education!
