Dear parents and caregivers,
The following is a list of items that can be incorporated into our alphabet activities, and/or can be useful to the classroom itself. If you have any of these items and you do not need them, would you please consider donating them to the school?
Any clothes (Halloween costumes, adult clothes no longer needed) are always great for playing dress-up and dramatic play. Magazines are helpful as well for collages and making books.
Many Thanks!
