My students naturally like to understand how their world and what's inside of it works. Simple machines will not only enhance their play in our block interest area, but they will also spark their curiosity on how these simple machines make work easier. Your donations to our project can make this happen for our students.
Early Childhood is my favorite age to teach because of how naturally curious they are, and these simple machines will ignite their curiosity in our block play as they try to make sense of how the machines work and make the job easier.
I anticipate that students who do not normally engage in our block interest area will be drawn to it by these machines. Please consider donating to our project.
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
