My Project

Learning through play is the best way. Educational research consistently highlights the benefits of play in early childhood education. By providing my first-grade students with access to a variety of games such as Zingo, building blocks, and word phonics games, we can create a joyful learning environment that promotes both academic and social-emotional growth. Your support will directly impact my students’ educational experience and contribute to the development of a strong, supportive classroom community.

These games will promote academic success because they align with the first-grade curriculum, targeting essential skills such as literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, and helping motor skills.

These games will help build our classroom community; students will have the opportunity to work together, share ideas, and develop social skills. Playing is learning, and learning is playing! Your support will make a real difference for 15 awesome kids, helping them learn, grow, and have a blast in the process.
