My Project

I plan to use these toys each day in my classroom to help students have a chance to play. I plan to use them for students to play with right away in the morning and I could also use them for inside recess periods.

These toys will help students learn through play.

These toys will help my students learn how to work with others, share, how to take turns, and practice many other social skills they can't learn anywhere else. They will also help my students develop their motor skills.

With an increase in the academics in kindergarten, sometimes play is forgotten. These toys would allow me to give my students a time to play each and every day.
