⭐ Literacy Learners:  August 11, 2026

• 23 Learners • Creativity, Reading & Teamwork

UBGC Uniquebasketgiving welcomed 23 excited learners for a joyful Literacy Learners session filled with reading, creativity, teamwork, and hands‑on learning. The day’s read‑aloud was The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires, a story that teaches children about imagination, persistence, problem‑solving, and the courage to try again.

⭐ Project I: Popsicle Stick Design Challenge

After the story, learners explored creativity through a popsicle‑stick building project. They designed:

  • Stars

  • Houses

  • Jewelry boxes

  • Numbers 1–9

  • Freestyle creative designs

This hands‑on activity strengthened:

  • Fine motor skills

  • Spatial awareness

  • Problem‑solving

  • Persistence

  • Self‑expression

Learners proudly completed their “magnificent” creations, connecting the book’s message to real‑world building and design.

⭐ Project II: BamBingo — Teamwork & Math Fun

Older and younger learners were paired together for BamBingo, a fast‑paced math bingo game that encourages teamwork, communication, and number recognition.

To win, teammates had to:

  • Help each other find numbers

  • Communicate clearly

  • Celebrate each other’s progress

  • Work together toward a shared goal

Both teammates received a prize, and the room was filled with excitement — BamBingo continues to be one of the learners’ favorite math games.

  • Learners were served snacks during the session

  • Each child received a take‑home snack bag

  • Every learner received a Read & Create Literacy Bundle

  • Each child selected two new books of their choosing to build their home library

These additions reinforce UBGC’s commitment to dignity, nourishment, and literacy growth.
