Comfortable Seating to Encourage Pre-Reading Skills and STEM Activities

Help me give my students seating for pre-k reading area as well as STEM learning activities to help pre-k students get off on the right food with their pre-academic learning to prepare them for Kindergarten.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Babbitt's classroom raised $669

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Inclusive pre-k learning environment supports special education students with typical peers as role models to learn from each other pre-academic skills to give students the best preparation for kindergarten and beyond.

The seating for the reading area will foster a comfortable environment to support the students pre-academic reading skills as it gets them interested in books and illustrations in books to foster interest in reading many different types of literature.

The STEM activities will engage the students and enrich their learning, pre-academic skills to help them reach their greatest potential.
