Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Mrs. Royer's PreK classroom to kindly requests your support to enhance our students' learning experiences through the acquisition of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) materials. As we strive to provide our young learners with a solid foundation in these critical areas, we believe that access to quality STEM resources is paramount to their development and future success.

We aim to enrich our classroom environment with a variety of STEM materials that will engage, inspire, and educate our students in meaningful ways.

These materials are not just objects; they are tools that hold the potential to transform our classroom into a dynamic learning space. Hourglass sand timers will introduce concepts of time and measurement in a tangible and interactive manner, fostering a deeper understanding of these abstract concepts from an early age. Fossils and animal specimens will spark curiosity and exploration, igniting a sense of wonder about the natural world and its history. Sensory mats will provide opportunities for hands-on exploration, stimulating multiple senses and promoting sensory integration, crucial for early childhood development. Magnetic cards will introduce basic principles of magnetism and encourage experimentation and discovery. Lastly, magnifying glasses will open up a whole new world of exploration, allowing our young scientists to observe the intricate details of the world around them up close.

By investing in STEM education at the preschool level, you are sowing the seeds for future innovation, creativity, and scientific literacy in our community. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our youngest learners and cultivate a generation of thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers. Thank you for considering supporting our PreK classroom and helping us provide our students with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
