Help me give my students magnetic building blocks and construction blocks to explore engineering concepts in my kindergarten and first grade classroom.
Our Kindergarten and First Grade classroom is full of curious, creative minds eager to explore, build, and learn every day. To support their growing imaginations and developing skills, we’re requesting magnetic building blocks to encourage hands-on STEM exploration and collaborative play. These blocks help young learners understand basic engineering concepts while having fun creating together.
We’re also in need of child-friendly scissors to promote creativity and support the development of fine motor skills through arts and crafts projects.
In addition, a reliable pencil sharpener will ensure that our students are always ready to write, draw, and express their ideas clearly and confidently.
These simple yet essential tools will have a lasting impact on our students' daily learning experience, keeping them engaged, organized, and inspired. Thank you for considering a donation to help our little learners thrive!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
