Building Block Adventures

Funded Dec 14, 2012

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generosity in funding our kindergarten project, Building Block Adventures. Your gift of wooden blocks has made a profound impact on my students. I have seen the creation of castles, cities, villages, robots, rockets and so much more explored with these wooden blocks. The blocks center is the most requested center in the classroom.

As stated in my request, many view building blocks as toys. However, there are few other learning tools that provide the same level support in the development of young children. My students are learning to be more independent and cooperative during block play, and these skills are now extended into other areas of their learning. Students are writing stories about their creations. They have an interest in learning more about skyscrapers, castles, trains and knights.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of imagination and creativity. Your donation will benefit a numbers of students this school year and future students.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Perreira
