My Project

I wish I had these tools to learn when I was in school! We need to help make learning fun for our students. Times have changed. Workbooks and textbooks aren't cutting it anymore.

The playdough, kinetic sand and mirrors are going to help my students become more social as well as improve their reading and writing.

With your generous donation I will able to give every student these tools to learn and be creative. Sometimes it will be directed and sometimes they will just get to use their imagination. I want my students to have independence and choice.

These tools will give them both!
