My Project

I just recently moved to a new classroom where we are 80% play based. This classroom NEEDS some love. Please help fund this project to give my students more choices in their house/grocery store area of our classroom.

Our curriculum is mostly play-based, the children get at least one hour of uninterrupted play time.

The house/grocery store area is one of their favorites! It is also the most lacking in our classroom. We need more food, pots, pans, a microwave and the cash registers to help encourage the children in their pretend play. The more their play area represents their own home/a grocery store the better!
