Make Our Learning Experience Fun in First Grade!

Help me give my students a hands-on learning experience in First Grade by providing educational toys which will enrich their learning environment. Children learn best through play, and I can utilize these games academically and socially.

My Project

My 1st Grade students are truly creative leaders. They will use these games and toys to expand their academic skills and awaken their creative abilities. Focusing on stem related projects will build social emotional learning and create a sense of community in our classroom. Students will be able to work together to create a rich, hands-on learning environment.

Your donations to this project will make our classroom a creative community where my students will be able to learn together through play.

Students will be able to work hard academically and to practice their newly learned skills through guided play. Students will be able to socialize, collaborate and create fun activities within the classroom. As an Early Childhood Teacher, I have witnessed how well students thrive in creative environments where they can utilize building blocks and games to enhance their academic and social emotional skills. With your help we will be able to strengthen our classroom community.
