My Project

Last year, some wonderful donors helped my kids continue their love for reading. This year, we will continue to read many books and chapter books in my PreK classroom, but I also want to encourage my students to explore their environment and learn more with these wonderful STEM kits that can be reused in my classroom for years to come!

With ages ranging from 3 to 5 years old, I encourage independence and exploration so the kids feel excited to learn new things they might not have gotten the chance to learn at home.

This is my 5th year at this center, and each year the kids amaze me in so many ways.
