Fully Funded

Mr. Overway's classroom raised $795

Promote Project Based Learning for Kindergarteners!!

My students need a 3-D model of the solar system, a Space Theme Box, 30 styrofoam solar systems, and a space theme book library.

Improve my students thirst for learning with hands on materials, visuals and bridge the school-home gap by giving them a model they create and take home.

Kindergartners love science! I do not have the materials to immerse my students in one of their most interested subjects - space! Imagine the curiosity that space brings to a kindergartner. I do not have the materials to feed their curiosity!

My solution to immerse my students is three fold: first, hands-on 3-D models and visuals, second, to inform them with a variety of reading materials, and finally, extend the experience by providing them with a model they create and take home to keep the learning alive outside the classroom!

By providing these materials to my students, we are giving them the power to drive their own education through curiosity and creativity! Put the solar system in their hands and let them dream!
