My Project
Imagination. There's a word children have not heard in a long time. We're requesting Bright Day Big Blocks sets for all of the students of our school community to use during recess. One of the biggest issues our students have is answering the question, "What do you think?" They freeze. Almost too hesitant to think what they actually think. They are afraid to be wrong. Using your imagination and thinking does not present a clear right or wrong answer. It's an unknown and they're afraid of it. These modifiable block structures will allow the students of our school to think and tread in the unknown worlds of their imagination. They will learn that mistakes are meant to be made and they can learn from them! They will take risks, learn what works and doesn't work. They will learn how to be a kid in an environment that embraces who they are, no matter what an assessment or score says. They will learn to use their imagination and use it to their advantage.
Your donations will not improve a classroom but an entire school community and bring play back to early childhood.
It will allow an entire generation of kids to learn to think and imagine. I strongly believe the Bright Day Big Blocks will benefit the kids in our community greatly. Imagination is something kids aren't encouraged to do anymore. They're treated as if they are adults, having so much pressure placed on them to pass tests and assessments. Help our kids be what they are, kids.
