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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My creative, curious, enthusiastic kindergarten students builld amazing things with ANYTHING. Plastic cubes make towers, dominoes become roads, pencils transform into see-saws, and graham crackers are ramps. Picture what they could do with better materials. They could construct bridges and roller coasters, and even machines that would really work!
Access to durable, high-quality construction toys would help our littlest learners take on the biggest jobs.
Building stamina and joy for strategic thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration benefits everybody, and it starts with the youngest among us having the means to create.
More than half 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
