This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Aleaha from Folsom, CA is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Building Blocks for Building Brains!

Help me give my students some new challenges! LEGO are much more than building, students are required to tap into emerging skills, problem-solving, spatial awareness, and understanding complex tasks. Meeting reading goals is more fun with new books!

My Project

Student Care is a wonderful program that provides students with a safe and fun place to go after school that continues our learning day. Currently, we have 50 students in our program ranging in age from kindergarten to fifth grade, and we have the potential for many more. We implement a variety of curricula including Second Step, STEAM, Spark, and Yoga Ed.

With the LEGO in this project, we are looking for fun ways to help encourage problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, understanding of complex thought, and so many more skills; with the books in this project, we are looking for fun new books to help our older students hit their reading goals!
