Toys to Take Home

11/9/2016

Dear Families and Friends,

The Active Learning Elementary School hopes to start a program where our students will be able to borrow toys to bring home.

Our students come to school eager to learn every day. When the time comes for parent teacher conferences, their parents are eager to ask what they can do to help their child.

We always suggest that our parents read to their children and allow them to play with unstructured building toys; toys that allow them to think and build scientifically using logic and imagination. However, not every household is equipped with building toys that is ideal for such thinking.

We want to educate the next generation of inventors, innovators, and problem solvers. To do so, our children must be exposed to things that allow them to think scientifically and mathematically. They must be able to problem solve and be willing to construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct.

We have created a DonorsChoose.org project to bring in toys for your students to take home to play. We need your support to help fund this project to make this toy lending program happen. Please consider supporting this project and share it with your friends and family. Once funded, we will begin lending out toys for your kids to bring home.

Please make donations directly to the site. The link is below.

DIY idea for stuffed animal storage by making a zoo or barn with bungee cords. Easy building project for a kids room and organization of kids toys.
