Building Blocks Against COVID

Help me give my students activities they can do by themselves such as the tree branch blocks and city skyscraper blocks. By working by themselves, we decrease the spread to COVID.

My Students

I teach preschool in a culturally diverse elementary school. Eighty-four percent of our families are economically disadvantaged. Please partner with me in helping this diverse group of kids learn to love school.

I have a passion to create an environment where students beg their parents to go to school.

I want to make school so much fun they don't want to go home! Research shows kids learn best through play. Please partner with me to create an environment where all children thrive.

With your help, we can create a generation of kids excited about school, as early as four years of age. Imagine how a child's life would be different if he or she started off their entire educational experience thrilled about going to school.

My Project

Traditionally, preschool is all about playing together. However, this year, our COIVD mitigation techniques require children to play more by themselves. Our current toys are designed to be played with as a group. Therefore, we need items such as the tree branch blocks, toy cars, and multicultural wooden families and homes so children can play by themselves or in groups of two.

Having these items allows us to spend more time teaching and playing with children, and less time washing every single item after a child has played with a toy.

This project will create a safer environment so our children have a better chance of not getting sick.
