My Project

A Kindergartener’s favorite part of the day is developmental playtime. With these donations of Magna Tiles, Lego, Play-Doh, and Barbies the students will be able to foster their creative minds. They will be using their imagination while also working on their social skills like communication and problem-solving with their peers.

The developmental play has helped this class become a sweet, caring community.

I also love to see my little scholars sharing, helping, and including each other, especially my two special needs students. Thank you for helping me create a love of learning.
