My Project

I have brought some amazing things to my preschoolers through Donors Choose and hope to do so again through the support of all you amazing people out there!

I am trying to replace the dozen or so fleece balls I currently have, as they are pretty old and gross.

I also need to replace all the pop fidgets I have given to my colleagues and students over the years.

With the fleece balls, I can imagine the kids sorting them by color, practicing throwing and catching, and tossing them at targets or into bins while learning to share and take turns. We may even have an indoor RAINBOW SNOWBALL fight this winter!

I also need more pop fidgets as this is a favorite with ALL my 140+ students, and I keep them in my Calm Corner. I am down to my last one, as all the ones I've purchased over the years have been given to my co-workers for their classrooms or specific students.
