My Project

Hello, I am asking for these items to help me create a fun and interactive classroom for my students to be able to learn in. Throughout our balls and exercise units, students will be able to use these materials to grow in all of their skills. It will be amazing to have books that they love and physical objects for them to learn with. The students will be able to work on their gross motor skills with the basketball hoop, balls, bean bag toss, and golf set. They can grow their fine motor skills with the sensory toys and squeeze and scoop ice cream. Their language and literacy skills will grow tremendously through the reading of these interactive story books!

They are an amazing group of ready to learn and loving 3k students who I know would be thrilled with these supplies!

Thank you so much for donating to my project!
