Promote Playing Together and Fun Learning!

Help me give my students some exciting new materials to help promote sensory, literacy and cooperative play

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $269

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a special education teacher in inclusive classrooms, I want to help my students engage and be motivated to learn. I also want them to play with their peers cooperatively. This can be taking turns during a game or using the play food to create scenarios.

These interactive materials will help learning become fun!

At this moment some students enjoy reading books one on one. I want students to become more interested in group read aloud and language activities. These tactile materials will help them get the movement they need, enjoy learning to read, and working on a variety of literacy skills. My students need story telling kits, magnetic letters and numbers, kinetic sand, sensory brushes, and laminating pouches.
