My Project

Starting the year and school day set the tone for the year! The kids love coming in and seeing new things that they can use on their tables. In this project, I have requested name tags, a new calendar and crayons, which are all essential to starting the new school year. I have also requested things that can go in morning tubs so that they can start the say off with a fine motor activity or manipulative. They love stamping, using play doh and doing anything that is hands on. I love that they can use these things to learn and grow!
