Help me give my students hands-on science and math materials for meaningful learning. In our kindergarten classroom we connect art with math and science to make STEAM for even more fun!
I teach in a classroom of inquisitive, excited, and motivated kindergartners. When you step into my classroom our love of learning is apparent in all we do. We love to ask questions, observe our environment, and collaborate together each day.
We love exploring new learning through writing, creative play, and hands-on experiences.
I teach in a small town at the base of a picturesque mountain. Our town is a close-knit community where families come together to support our school and create a safe place for all learners. Our school is motivated to provide the best learning environment for our students to explore their creativity and challenge themselves to learn new things each day.
My Project
I am so lucky to have a private outdoor space in the back of my classroom. It is the perfect spot for garden beds where my students can use their hands to learn about the environment, while exploring science and math. I am requesting hands-on materials to use in small groups. We will use the garden hose, garden markers, popsicle sticks, and seeds outdoors to learn about what plants need to grow. The attribute apples will be used while we learn about apple life cycle. We can use the sensory play materials in our sensory water table and we can use cork boards to display individual science research. We collect items in the garden and display them on our boards.
In the spring, my class raises chickens from eggs to learn about life cycles.
I need a small brooder/coop to help keep the chicks warm as we watch their development in our classroom. The hutch will be used for this. How exciting it will be to see my students thrive as they solve real world problems on their own!
I also plan to add an "A" to make STEAM! We have weekly art project that are more fun when you add science. In one project, we'll use coffee filters and Mr. Sketch markers to watch colors separate before our eyes!
I am constantly looking for ways to enhance our learning environment and create interactive learning experiences for my students. Having access to hands-on learning materials helps me to create a classroom where my students enjoy coming to school and learning every day. It is my hope that with your donation, I can continue to challenge my students to learn in new and exciting ways and to love exploring the world around them. Thank you for supporting us!
