Growing the Minds of Little Scientists

Help me give my students a science and math center in our classroom. My students have loved doing STEM activities but have not had much access to math and science. They would especially love the Lakeshore science kits!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jessica's classroom raised $748

My Project

These Lakeshore Science Kits will give us the opportunity to explore science and math more openly. At the moment, we do not have a science or math area in our classroom, which I would love to provide for the children. We have previously done science experiments such as the "exploding snowman" and they absolutely loved it. These science kits will give the children the opportunity to explore the world around them during work time (or free time). I would love to help my children gain an interest in science and math at an early age.

My children are so curious and have a desire to learn, these items will help them in multiple areas of development that are essential later in life.

These kids mean the world to me and I hope to be able to provide the chance for them to explore and learn all areas of life.
