My Project

I am the Ojibwe Language and Cultural Arts Specialist at a Native American School. This request is specifically for my PK through 2nd grade students to use during class rotations or as they finish art projects and language lessons.

I am asking for LEGO sets, magnetic blocks, Play-Doh supplies, play people and food to promote the use of the Ojibwe language in my classroom.

We will learn the Ojibwe words and phrases associated with community helpers, food, colors, shapes, etc. These materials will allow the children to learn and play together.

I know my students will enjoy these new additions to the classroom.
