Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I want science to be an exciting opportunity with hands on experiments for my kindergarteners. My school has an Environmental Science program. I want to encourage my students to explore. We can learn from planting seeds to helping the environment through importance of recycling. Science is EVERYWHERE.

I will use the funds to purchase materials to provide the hands-on experience with multiple exploration kits.

These materials will be used at our science center or even during free choice time. I hope this inspires them to go out and try science projects on their own. Let me start that spark in my classroom. So, they can take on the World of Science.
