My Project

I started back in the classroom this year as a 1st grade teacher. I have received some amazing resources through DonorsChoose that have really helped my students learn to play together. I want to expand my inventory and add some items that will also help my students learn ways to calm their bodies.

New STEAM toys will help students during literacy centers!

The goal of the Collaboration Center is to help students learn to work together to get something accomplished- a puzzle, a game, a block structure, etc. It also helps them use their imaginations, which is often missing in schools now.

We would greatly appreciate your help getting this new classroom completely up and running with games, STEAM toys, and sensory supporting items.
