Memphis, TN Grades PreK-2

My Project

Play-based learning helps young children develop language, creativity, and critical thinking skills. In our elementary ESL classroom, students learn best when they can use their hands to explore new vocabulary and concepts. With Play-Doh, trays, and shape cutters, students will build letters, create vocabulary models, practice storytelling, and strengthen fine motor skills while learning English.

These engaging materials provide meaningful, hands-on experiences that make language learning fun and accessible for all students.

The trays will help keep materials organized, while the cutters encourage creativity and support lessons in literacy, math, science, and social studies.

By combining play with learning, students gain confidence, collaborate with classmates, and develop important communication skills. Your support will help create an interactive classroom where every child can learn, explore, and grow through the power of play. Thank you for investing in our young learners!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
