My Students

Our school is very small. Many of my students come from low-income families in a rural area of Missouri. My students face many challenges, but they rise above those challenges to be the best that they can be. I have really enjoyed getting to know each of my students this year.

When they enter our classroom, they are eager to hear what fun learning opportunities are planned for the day.

I want to help these amazing kiddos reach their full potential every single day.

My Project

My students are so creative, and they are great at constructing block structures. Blocks are a valuable tool to use in the classroom because block play encourages learning in all domains of development. Children will work together and learn to cooperate with one another while developing geometric and spatial reasoning. I am so excited that we have an awesome set of wooden unit blocks for our classroom.

Now, we need a storage cabinet for all of our blocks.

Having a place to store our blocks will give my students easy access to the blocks and help them to easily put the blocks away with a spot for each block shape.

Including the community vehicles in the project will further encourage creative play.
