My Project

Our classroom is filled with amazing, curious students who love to engage in hands on activities. As the school year is coming to an end, we have determined that we are in need of some additional supplies, along with some storage options.

My students are working on pre-academic and play skills.

We are a sensory based classroom and these learning supplies will help us focus on cooperative learning, taking turns, sharing, and cause and effect. The different sensory bins will allow students to explore our themes through hands on learning. And we can never get enough play dough! Play dough provides multiple options for learning our letters and numbers while also expressing our creativity.

Storage in a classroom is in short supply. We would love to have a few extra storage options so that the students can easily access their supplies. In addition, we would like a refresh of some of the supplies that we have gone through this year. We are so appreciative of our communities support!
