My Students

We are a Title I school located in the heart of the East Village. Most of the students come from hard-working immigrant, low-income families. All of the students are eager to play, create friendships, use their imaginations and read, read, read.

My Project

These toys and materials will engage students, expand their ideas about play and promote language. When they encounter a new toy or activity, I see them light up with curiosity and excitement. They become motivated and eager to learn how to use and engage with what's in front of them. More importantly, it promotes their language and social interactions with one another. All of the materials on this list are what they have expressed an interest in and May have not been exposed to before. I know they will make the most of everything!
