My Project

I love how my kindergarten students have a creative imagination! They have big dreams and a big HEART! They are very thoughtful and kind to each other. Some of them have a huge family and they sometimes are left alone to learn on their own. However, my students push forward and try their best in school.

I would like to expand their imaginations and their dreams by showing it on a big inflatable screen.

Some of my students has never been to a movie theatre or even to a school play. By using a big screen and a projector, it will show how technology has advanced and how students can learn more effectively and efficiently. Our science project is to make a pinball machine and students are learning about pushes and pulls (forces). A big screen will enhance the experience and motivate students to try their best in creating their project!
