Very young students are intrinsically motivated to learn, engage with their surroundings, and discover more about their world. They are naturally curious. According to Steve Spangler: "Early Childhood science education will have the reagent impact on growing next generation scientists." One of my goals as an educator is to create amazing experiences that encourage discovery, exploration, question asking, and problem solving. All of the materials I request in my projects will help me in meeting this goal. Every project I write aims to provide students with unforgettable learning experiences that will inspire and motivate them. We are raising life long learners! Thank you for your support!
