The students in my class spend most of their free choice time exploring the building materials in the classroom. I would like to provide my students with new materials to explore their creativity. Recently, they showed interest in a marble building set. They are limited to the materials they can use with the tunnels so by providing them with the Ramps and Ball Exploration Set they will be able to add other materials in the classroom to the ramps. Our Lego Duplos in our class is a mixed set of different duplo brands which doesn't hold the children's interest for very long. I am hoping a new set will evolve their creations with the Legos. Your generous donation will provide these students with more materials to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I am also asking for a letter building set to allow those students who are hands on to be able to build and visualize our alphabet. I added activity scarves to our list as well, because our classroom came with a set of 12 scarves when we have 16 students. I would like to provide enough materials for every child to explore independently when we do a large group activity.
