My Project

A huge focus this year in Kindergarten is bringing more play based centers into the classroom! Every day in our classroom you will see my students playing, in both academic and social-emotional based centers. Some central play areas in my classroom are our dramatic play kitchen, a sensory table, independent academic center space, and a train table. While I love our different spaces, it can sometimes be challenging to fill in and change out materials to keep the interest, engagement, and attention of my little learners.

Play is a essential part of a Kindergartener’s growing mind and development.

With your donation to my classroom, I will be able to provide my students with new and different materials to use within each of these spaces. My children love to play, have fun, and learn new things in our collaborative spaces. These materials will surely help to make that happen!
