A Discovery Center That Promotes Development and Learning
Help me give my students a learning center where they can discover the wonders of science and nature.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cortez's classroom raised $212
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are in prekindergarten and are curious about the world around them. Their most favorite time of the day is when they can explore their environment through hands on activities. This new discovery center will allow the children to display their creativity while fostering exploration and science skills. They will also learn new concepts such as how magnets work, how mechanical objects such as robots are made, the origins of living things, how to care for pets, and much more. I also look forward to their questions and predictions as well as helping them build their vocabulary. I will use the materials to encourage them to make sense of the world they live in and experiment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
