My Project

Hands on materials help provide young learners with more engaging and meaningful connections to the topic they are learning. It also helps them get excited for learning. These science materials would help my students make these connections to a variety of science topics they will learn in kindergarten.

Donating to this project will help my students learn about objects and how they move, life cycles, parts of a plant, and so much more!

The materials I have chosen with give students a chance to explore the world around them, make concrete connections, and give them a chance to expand their curiosity. While they focus on the fun and wonder, they will be learning life skills based around exploration and trial/error, reaching academic goals to set them up to follow the scientific method in later grades, and make connections into math and literacy goals as well.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
