My Project

My kindergarteners are currently using old toys that were donated and don't have very many varieties to choose from when we have our brain breaks. We also are experiencing a lot of inside recess due to cold temperatures, where they also play with our limited selection. During these times, it would be wonderful for the students to be engaged in learning without realizing it.

Playing is such an important part of learning at this stage in kids' development.

It would be wonderful to be able to have them learn while playing with a cash register, Legos, plus-plus, a more! Thank you so much for your help in making this happen.
