My Project

My students love to play with Legos, Magnatiles, and K'nex. Your donation will allow the fun and discovery to continue by providing some much needed restocks as well as additions to their creative play, providing opportunities to use their imaginations and creativity, work on social skills, and relate to the texts read in class.

We use these interactive toys to delve deeper into the texts we read by making creatures and characters from the stories and rebuilding settings and structures.

We've made broomsticks, leprechaun traps, and mazes for fictional and nonfictional characters.

In today's world, there's so many devices that kids have forgotten how to play.
