Purposeful Play Centers

Funded Apr 16, 2024

Thank you for your very generous donations. The students had such a great time completing these activities. They truly enjoyed retelling both the fairytales/ familiar stories to their peers and practicing their problem solving skills. It was wonderful to see how much joy these centers brought them.

They were so excited when they saw the story puppets. They sat with both the puppets and the book in front of them. As they used the illustrations to remind them of the events, they then chose the puppets that correlated with each page. Because they were so familiar with the stories, Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes, and the Very Hungry Caterpillar, they found it fun to read those with the puppets.

Within this project, they were also able practice problem solving. It was nice to see that when they did not know exactly how to build the house/ bridge, they were able to assemble the blocks in different ways to see which created the best foundation. They were able to problem solve while retelling The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and The STEM activity.

Thank you again for your donations. My students and I are very grateful.”
