My Project

Since September, I have seen so much growth in my students and have a better understanding of their likes and dislikes. Some of my students thrive with imaginary play, while others prefer creating arts and craft projects. I want to continue encouraging my students to engage in these activities, which is why I am requesting toys for imaginary play, as well as seasonal arts and craft kits. I am also requesting weighted lap pads and blankets so that my students can remain focused and engage in these prefered activities for extended periods of time.
