Help me give my students an opportunity to be curious about building with these toys!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ponce's classroom raised $260
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
Help me give my students opportunities to explore building toys by helping my project! Last year, I noticed my students had a BIG curiosity when it came to building supportive structures to use when playing. I hope to give all my students more opportunity to explore these resources open-ended or with task cards.
These building toys will be used throughout the year and by many classes to come!
Students will be using these resources during indoor recess, free choice time, and math centers. Paired with teacher made resources, students can use these to also explore building words and math equations! I would leave to receive these resources to start my year with exploration and curiousity!
More than three‑quarters of 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
