My Project

I am asking for a snacks and new games for my preschool room to help them beat the winter blues while continuing to learn. My students are an amazing group of 3-4 year olds, who are stuck inside in this wet and cold winter.

I want to bring in snacks to give them a pick me up throughout our day and new games and manipulatives to keep their interest and love for learning going.

For snacks I have added variety packs because I have students who have particular tastes and one who can not have milk. I have also added juice that way the students have more than just water as an option.

I have also included board games because my students love learning how to count, match and complete puzzles by playing games together and it also teaches them social skills. I also included new manipulatives to keep them interested in learning. The board games are played during group rotations with a teacher and the manipulatives are used in a variety of ways. Students can use the manipulatives in small groups with teachers and also independently.
