Growing Imagination

Help me give my students more hands-on learning options for their center bins.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Koerner's classroom raised $327

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have a class of 17 sweet kindergarten students. They love to learn and build their imaginations. Our very tiny school is PK-12th grade. Recently, our class sizes have begun to grow and we are very excited about that!

My students love hands-on activities.

Anything that gets their bodies moving, gets them more motivated to learn. The requested items will be placed in our centers and the students will be able to use them daily to build counting and fine motor skills! All of the requested materials, including the stacking bears, building blocks, and counters will impact the learning of my kindergartners in such a positive way.

My biggest goal for this project is to update the centers that I currently have. I have had them for years. They are in poor condition and very outdated. Updating these center options will give my students a lot more opportunities to turn their creative play into learning opportunities!
