Our play centers are lacking in resources! We need your help filling and replacing our dramatic play centers with dress up clothes, pretend food, pots, and pans. We hope to enrich our little engineers in our block center with train sets, community signs, and multicultural community figures. These materials are not just for "play" they are a necessity to help our students learn social and emotional strategies to be successful in life. By creating purposeful play in our classrooms, our students will be exposed to exploration. They will also get to work on social and emotional skills like sharing and problem solving. With your help, we can make this happen!
