Blocks R Us

Help me give my students a creativity sparking block center that will bring many hours of enjoyment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Padilla's classroom raised $243

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is for new block center pieces that are more child friendly and safer for the children to use.

When the children begin to play at the block center my goal is that they are able to use their imagination to create their own masterpieces.

These new soft blocks will provide hours of imagination design for my preschoolers. It will teach them many valuable lessons such as how to work collaboratively with their classmates especially if they want to build bigger structures and even lessons in balance and weight when stacking.

Growing and learning while at play!

Ms. Padilla PS 28 Wright Brothers Grades PreK-2
