My Project

Our students are energetic, joyful and curious learners! They learn, laugh, play, create, and build in our classroom. Our kindergarteners come to school each day, excited to be together in our classroom space and eager to learn. Our class is asking for art supplies to help our students continue to ignite their imagination and explore their creativity. We are also asking for board games that can support our social emotional learning.

Structured opportunities for students to engage in turn taking, sharing, cooperative play, and problem solving are essential for supporting the whole child.

Our students engage in play-based learning and our centers allow for students to have voice and choice in their learning. The materials from this project would support our goal of having students engage in meaningful learning experiences that develop the whole child. Social emotional learning opportunities and open ended art are essential for early childhood learning.
