My Project

Students in my Kindergarten class are always asking for more things to use during play time! They are always looking for more construction/magnetic building tools as well as dress up/play time tools! My students are also in need of chairs that will help control their wiggly bodies. I have a very sensory seeking group this year, and if this project gets funded, all of these tools will help my students' needs tremendously!

My goal for this project is to meet all students needs in a variety of ways!

By allowing students to have choice during creative play time, it will allow their social skills as well as their creativity to continue to grow! These toys will allow students to interact even more and make their relationships stronger over similar interests!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
