My Project

The students at BGES are ready and excited to learn! We are located in East New York Brooklyn, with a temporary housing rate of over 30%. Due to the pandemic, students did not have appropriate access to technology or basic learning materials for many months, creating a major learning gap.

My students need hands on learning opportunities to reinforce their foundational skills in literacy and mathematics.

Puzzles and learning games are extraordinarily beneficial to young learners. They build concentration, improve spacial awareness, hand-eye coordination, help students identify shapes, colors and letters, build language skills, memory skills, social skills and self esteem!!!

We will use these supplies daily to build students knowledge! The students are excited for their new supplies and activities to arrive!
