I teach Kindergarten in a Houston area Title School. Forty percent of our population is on the free lunch program. My class is a mixture of many different nationalities- all eager to learn more! Science is a fun hands-on experience in Kindergarten. The more actively involved the student is in the learning experience the more he/she is going to learn from and remember the experience. I am requesting a GEMS Hide a Butterfly Science Kit and 5 refill packs. The children will be able to explore the insect environment by creating their own bulletin board habitat. They will be able to role-play how butterflies survive using the materials in the kit. The kit includes fun activities to introduce camouflage, habitats, and interactions of species. These items can be shared among our Kindergarten classes providing approximately 125 students with this great learning experience. This learning experience will follow our grade level TEKS in science.
