Creating Curiosity in Kids

Help me give my students access to tools that will help them succeed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ellermeier's classroom raised $659

My Project

My students are at a Title 1 school and they have so much curiosity about the world around them. They deserve headphones to be able to listen to their reading and listening comprehension exams. I buy cheap headphones for $1, but they break easily. I need headphones that will last.

My students love to experiment and discover the world around them.

The tools that I have chosen give a variety of learning possibilities. From books to experiments, to understanding science. Help me show these students that come from economically disadvantaged areas that they can have access to things that will spark their curiosity and learning.
