Play, Learn, and Grow: Toys for 3K and 4K Students
Help me give my students educational toys that will spark their creativity, enhance their learning, and encourage play-based development.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pichardo's classroom raised $389
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My 3K and 4K students are curious, creative, and full of energy. They thrive in an environment where they can play and explore while learning critical skills. Every day, I witness their excitement as they engage in activities that help them grow socially and academically.
This project will provide my students with hands-on learning tools such as building blocks, sensory toys, and puzzles that spark their creativity and improve their fine motor skills.
For example, sensory bins will help them explore textures and improve focus, while dramatic play sets will encourage collaboration and imagination.
With your support, these resources will create a joyful and engaging classroom where students can develop essential cognitive and social skills. Together, we can foster an environment where every child feels empowered to succeed.
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
