Purposeful Play In Kindergarten!

Help me give my students the needed items to build social skills to use in their daily lives.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rhoades's classroom raised $1,062

My Students

My class is full of energetic students that love to learn and are excited about adding purposeful play into our day! We are learning how to work together and build self confidence in our daily lives.

Our classroom is full of diverse learners from differing backgrounds.

For some of my students this is the first time being away from home. We are learning social skills that will help us grow to be successful in school and life

My Project

Students need social skills in order to be successful academically. Through this project my students will learn these skills through hands-on activities where they will learn how to express feelings and build self confidence. Many students have not had access to social environments due to COVID-19 and this is their first experience outside of the home. This project will help them learn needed skills to be successful throughout school and life.

Children need play in their life as it teaches them how to communicate needs and to work with others.

These skills are necessary to become a successful grown up in life.

The cubby shelf will not only be helpful in storing items but it will also be an opportunity for my students to learn how to be independent when choosing, cleaning up, and putting things away. The play sets are for helping teach my students how to communicate and work together to complete tasks. For example, working together to create a coffee shop and make and sell coffee and donuts. This teaches my students how to be assertive and no what you want/need , number sense when checking out, and practicing manners.
