My Project

Stories have the power to spark imagination, build language skills, and create moments of wonder for young children. Storytelling is more than just words; it’s a gateway to creativity, connection, and learning. To nurture a love for stories in our students, we would like to provide storytelling kits for more interactive experiences. These kits include engaging books and hands-on props that bring stories to life in the most magical way. They will also be used by students to create brand-new stories of their own. Please help us bring stories to life for our little learners!
