So daily we have toys (cars) being brought from home due to a clear lack of quality cars in the classroom. I get it and while I want the students to be engaged, toys from home create exclusion and ugliness more often than not. Heard today "no you can't play. These are mine.". We are trying to foster community, maybe even change that word "mine" to "ours". So I ask that you keep toys at home.
A group of boys helped draft a letter to you parents and we ask that only if you have cars that haven't been used in a while, you and your child discuss the possibility of donating towards our communal classroom collection. (Absolutely no spending $$ at the store, just hand me downs please.)
Thanks in advance.
Oh also please send in more lids for spinning top making, either plastic or metal. Thanks to those who did today.
