FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Phillips's classroom raised $266

My Project

For the project, I am requesting several items that are imperative for my class to meet its full potential this year. First, I am requesting new furniture for my Classes’ kitchen area. Every Friday, Student Center Groups take turns “playing” in the kitchen area. During this time, social-emotional skills are being honed through imitation and play.

I am also requesting individual-sized play doughs for my Students to use as manipulatives.

Students will use the play dough to create letters, numbers, and shapes. Finally, I am requesting toys to refill my Class Treasure Chest. It is an excellent reward on Fridays that the Students try very hard to earn. Thank you so much!
