Help me give my students fun and engaging toys to play and learn from during our daily center time! With winter looming, we are in need of new choices to keep the children engaged!”
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martino's classroom raised $252
This project is fully funded
My Project
I feel like the luckiest teacher ever! Each day I go to work and have the privilege of teaching the most amazing children you could ever meet. They are so eager to learn. Their excitement is contagious!
The blocks, games, and toys that this project will bring when funded will be used during our free choice or “center” portion of our day.
We will use these items on a daily basis throughout the entire school year for learning through play opportunities.
With winter in Chicago approaching, our classroom is in need of fresh activities to keep the students engaged. With your help, we will weather the cold while having a great time!
Having many fun learning toys for the children to choose from, will help make our classroom a productive yet fun learning environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
