My Students

Many of my students have never built a snowman despite living in a cold snow filled climate. Often my students don't know what to do with Legos or blocks. They have never been exposed to engaging play materials. My students will be so excited to learn to build with these new materials.

My students are 95% free/reduced lunch which means they come from poverty stricken homes that lack puzzles, games, and books that give many children the background knowledge they need before coming to school.

On my recent assessments many children could not complete a 4 piece puzzle. They do not know how to hold scissors and have never played a board game. I am thrilled they are in my pre-kindergarten classroom so I can offer them new experiences to begin their school years.

My Project

My students have adored learning about construction, tools, and building. We love reading and retelling The Three Pigs and The Three Billy Goats and have integrated talking about building bridges and construction into the familiar fairy tales. I know that these new toys and building materials would be an exciting addition to our classroom for my budding kindergarten engineers.

Studies continue to show how important children's life experiences are to their success in school.

I hope by providing rich, engaging learning opportunities, I can bridge the gap that my students come to school with. The discussions and vocabulary opportunities that will arise with these new building blocks and tools will create excited learners that want to succeed.
