My Students

A day in my class is filled with lots of learning and smiles. I love to engage my students in as many hands-on activities as I can!

We are a class of 29 kindergarteners.

We are curious and excited about the world around us. We are energetic and love to try new things. We love to play! My school is filled with caring teachers who do the best we can with limited resources and funding.

My Project

I am looking for hands-on activities that allow children to explore things in their environment. I also want them to investigate and come to their own conclusions, and what better way than to do this through play and using fun manipulatives! A Fairy Tales Problem Solving STEM kits, Stand-Up Magnetic Design Center, Engineer-A-Coaster Kit, and a Marble Run will help support these investigations and encourage critical thinking.

Donations for these manipulatives will help support student investigations by bringing exploration and critical thinking to the young minds of our future!

And they will have a blast as they learn!
