My Project

As Albert Einstein famously remarked, "Imagination is far more important than knowledge, for knowledge is what we know and imagination is what is left to be discovered."

I am privileged to have the opportunity to progress with my current kindergarten class to first grade in the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year.

My students are truly remarkable, displaying remarkable enthusiasm for learning despite facing personal challenges, showcasing profound depths waiting to be explored.

My objective is to enrich our science curriculum with engaging hands-on activities and experiments throughout the school year. To achieve this, essential science materials such as beakers, owl pellets, magnetic butterfly and frog life cycle puzzles and giant solar system magnets are required. The requested items will not only stimulate their imagination but also nurture a passion for learning and bolster critical thinking skills. Recognizing that active engagement is pivotal for optimal learning outcomes, I respectfully seek your support in this endeavor.
