Creativity In Our Centers!

Help me give my students more materials to enhance their learning center experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chekmayan's classroom raised $441

My Students

At my school, my three and four-year-old students are of mixed backgrounds (White, including many Polish, Spanish and African-American), and they are eager learners. They just need the tools to help them explore their world.

Many have hardworking parents who desire their children have an enriched Pre-K experience.

The students are well behaved and attentive. They are inquisitive and have a desire to learn. Words can't describe what a three/four-year-old is capable of. They are like sponges at this age! Their brains absorb everything.

My Project

Students will have fun with letter recognition exploring alphabet tubs. Foam and peel and stick cubes will enhance our building skills and creativity. We love arts and crafts! Hula hoops are needed for various activities, especially at gym! They’ll also help with sorting. The light table materials will bring our light table to life during our unit on light! They will also reinforce shapes, letters and numbers. The racks will keep all the tubs organized and neat. Easy access for the little ones. These kids love blocks and they will love building in the water table with these water blocks!
