My Project

My students are 5-6 years old and learn best through play. Kindergarteners are hard on toys. Despite the fact that they took good care of our items this year, things have gotten lost and/or broken. We are in need of some new items to spruce up our learning bins which are used independently and in small groups. The stools and lap desks will give students flexibility to move and the poppers will be great to use for whole group math. I love any way that I can make learning fun.

Please help me update and add to our classroom.

Thank you!
