Learning Through Play!

Funded Aug 13, 2021

Thank you so much for funding my project "Learning Through Play." My students look forward to coming to school everyday. The "Learn Through Play" model has helped my students increase their stamina in reading, writing, and math because they know that we first must learn and finish our academic tasks; Then, they will have the chance to play and explore at the end of the day. Our "play station time" helps students strengthen their peer relationships and communication with one another. They learn to share, repair relationships, and celebrate each others accomplishments. It provides a creative outlet and time to freely play and end our day with joy. The social emotional benefits have been enormous. Students help each other build structures, talk about the events of the day while painting, and create stronger bonds as a classroom community. Thank you so much for providing joy and learning, and play to my students.”

With gratitude,
