My Project

Developmentally appropriate, purposeful, engaging play is the foundation of early childhood development. My children come from low-income areas; several families are below the poverty level. Yet, these amazing children come to school every day ready to discover and explore new learning opportunities. During meaningful play, children learn about themselves and the world around them. We are requesting tiles and more.

Let's go outside!

The weather is warmer; we are so excited to be able to go outside and play! We have a wonderful outdoor classroom that we can use. This project is requesting playdough and magnetic tiles to practice engineering skills in our outdoor classroom. Research has shown tremendous benefits from giving students outdoor learning opportunities. Students will experience joy and excitement from being outside and exploring nature.
