My Project

The children in Pre-K are so excited when they get to use many different supplies for writing and drawing. We are asking for supplies to allow more creativity with different markers, drawing tools so that they can create and write. The sketch boards are a fun way for the children to use various objects to add to their drawings.

The dry erase boards help with learning to hold and grip to write letters, numbers and words.

It's also fun because they get to erase and do it again! I want the children to learn to enjoy learning and to have fun!
