My Project

As the state of Connecticut is mandating purposeful play in Kindergarten, I have requested items for my classroom that are going to help engage my students, build more creativity and let them use their imaginations to the fullest! Having these open-ended materials will enhance the children's ability to communicate, problem solve and be creative!Through play, children engage in problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making, all while having fun and building a strong foundation for future academic success.Being able to provide students with the ability to recreate, share and problem solve with each other on a regular basis is a priority in today's society. Children need and will benefit from these opportunities.
