Building Smiles One Child at a Time!

Help me give my students a new and exciting block area! The block area is our most popular area in the classroom and adding new materials to the block area will bring many smiles to their faces!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ashley's classroom raised $1,592

My Project

I love watching my students build and create new things in the classroom. Every time something new is added to the block area, I get to watch my students' faces light up. These materials will help our children explore and build their imagination.

With the block table and block sets, I will be able to provide a new space for them to expand their building and fine motor skills.

With the community block play people, they will be able to make connections to our community while building. With these materials, my students will be able to make connections to the outside world, build their fine motor skills, and connect with their peers.
