Help me give my students Lego sets that they can creatively use during indoor recess and for STEM activities as we return to in person learning!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $573
This project is fully funded
My Students
The students in my class face several challenges both in and out of the classroom as our school is located in a high poverty neighborhood. Despite any challenges they may face, my hope is that in our school, we provide high quality and meaningful learning experiences.
The goal is for students to be excited to come to school every day and to be consistently and actively engaged.
Creating a classroom that is welcoming and comfortable for students is a major priority.
My Project
Students are thrilled to be returning to in person learning.
These amazing Lego sets will be used by students during indoor recess as well as for STEM activities.
As we take precautions for in person learning due to the coronavirus, for now students will be unable to play board games and share other activities during indoor recess. These Lego sets will be assigned to individual students to use. They will be able to create, experiment, test out and build new ideas. It is a fun and creative way for students to enjoy themselves.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
