My Project

This grant will provide our kindergarten classroom with engaging science picture books, safety glasses, research resources, picture viewers, and animal life cycle figurines. These materials will create an engaging and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity, early scientific literacy, and hands-on discovery.

Our school serves a diverse community where many students face economic challenges, and it is crucial to provide engaging and effective learning tools to support science discovery.

Kindergarten is a formative time for building foundational science skills and a lasting love for learning. Our young students, eager to explore, benefit most from hands-on experiences and visual stimuli. With your support, my students will experience the wonders of science through safe, hands-on discovery and captivating stories, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
