My Project
I love my preschool students because they bring joy, curiosity, and wonder into the classroom every day. Their excitement to learn through play inspires me to create fun, engaging lessons that help them grow. We will soon explore a “motion” theme, and I want to make it hands-on and memorable. With the Learning Resources Force & Motion STEM Activity Set and Lakeshore Turn & Learn Magnetic Gears, my students can roll, spin, build, and discover how things move. These tools will support early STEM skills, critical thinking, and active learning in a playful, meaningful way.
Your support helps me give them the learning experience they deserve—and shows them just how much they’re cared for, every single day.
