Building Blocks and Social Skills

Help me give my students educational toys to build social skills during our indoor recess.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brandenburg's classroom raised $980

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are struggling with their social skills. I want to incorporate educational toys into our classroom to help build social skills among my students. Young children learn best through play. My first graders will use the STEM building blocks to construct towers, buildings, and machines. They will also learn through active play while role-playing with dolls and action figures. Learning through play is the best way for students to find commonalities, develop social skills, and work through their differences. These educational toys are the best tools to develop students' minds, increase self-esteem, develop communication skills, and create life-long friendships.
