  • Toys to Build Skills for our Youngest Learners

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding this project. My students will greatly benefit from the materials. We will be able to use them daily for years to come so your impact goes well beyond the students I have on front of me today! I am so excited to see them open up and grow as they play!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alyson

    This classroom project was brought to life by Allison and Austin McChord.

  • Hands on Distance Learning

    Funded Jun 9, 2020

    We have just wrapped up our first ever virtual extended school year. Because of your generosity we were able to provide our students with materials to use at home to engage with us during remote learning. My students were excited to see me at our virtual morning meeting and show me what they were making with their blocks or play-doh. They complete all of the tasks I asked them to complete and shared them with me on our class page.

    During my 1:1 sessions with students I was able to get them to talk to me about their blocks and toys we provided, which was a major goal for my students.

    The parents were so happy to have things to do with their kids that were educational and fun.

    My students were much more engaged this summer than they were during our remote learning from March to June, and I am sure it was because of these kits!

    Thank you so much for your donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alyson

Our students learn best when they use their hands. Giving them different things to play with at home and manipulate with their hands will help them develop their fine motor skills. In school, we have block centers for them to practice being architects and engineers and builders, we can give them the opportunity to practice at home. For many of the students participating in our Extended School Year, we can get them to engage with us over a zoom call while they are working with a toy, like playdoh. We use these toys to have them practice commenting and answering questions. Music time at school is a favorite of our students. This is when we see them come out of their shells. The music toys will help them participate in daily music time just like in the classroom!
