Hands-On Learning Saves the Day

Help me give my students access to headphones and hands on STEM learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jefferson's classroom raised $672

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to be up and moving during learning. They love to explore to find and learn new things.

Kindergartners should not be stuck at their seats all day doing worksheets.

They should be up learning through play. Thats why I am asking for items such as kinetic sand, magna tiles, and toys/tools to use with our new STEM table for learning.

My students already love building with the magna tiles we have in our classroom They build the most amazing structures. But one set isn't enough for everyone. They also enjoy playing learning games on their iPads but everyone doesn't have headphones so it can get noisy at times and distracts other learners. My students will fell so special to receive these items to help in enhance their learning through play.
