Description

Funds will be used to purchase items to support our

initiative of Purposeful Play. Through Purposeful Play

students will gain necessary skills such as social

emotional, problem solving, fine motor, and self-help that

are developmentally appropriate and will lead students

on the path to reach the goals Andover has set in The

Portrait of a Graduate.

Students will be provided opportunities to explore

imaginative, real world and meaningful puroseful play

scenarios in an effort to build language, physical,

emotional, social and cognitive skills. "Play allows

students to "have wonderful ideas" The base for ALL

intellectual development." - Eleanor Duckworth
