My Project

This project will help provide the students in my Headstart class with materials that we will use to advance their learning. We would like to focus on fine motor development; reading skills and comprehension; cognitive skills, and creativity. On our wishlist, we have included art supplies, early language reading books, board games, and fine motor and building toys. The children love being creative and using art supplies like glue and markers. We also have a few children starting to read and are in need of more early reader books. The manipulative toys will be used to further engage the children in cognitive play and creativity. Thank you for considering a donation to the classroom project.
