FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Amanda Meek's classroom raised $293

My Project

In our classroom we have a 60 minute uninterrupted time for open ended play. During this time teachers walk around and play with the children, looking for teachable moments during play. Our classroom has gone through multiple teachers this school year, and we are looking to Donors Choose to help fill some toy gaps.

Our children come ready to learn each and every day.

They LOVE when we get new toys in our classroom. One of our students in particular can name each of the 5 dinosaur toys we currently have in our classroom. He plays with them EVERY day. We would love to be able to further his dinosaur knowledge with the dino toys included in this project.
