Help me give my students animals, STEM Learning Lab, and dig and discover gemstones, please!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Polo Oates's classroom raised $275
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Looking forward for my upcoming kindergartners! Kindergarten has changed so much throughout the years and sadly education has slowly removed pretend play. Which means at times less time to work together and use their imagination!
With STEM though it helps with imagination, engineering, collaboration, communication skills, problem solving, and so much more!
I would love to obtain gemstones that my students need to dig up and discover that will have them pretend they are geologist! I would also love to obtain for them to create, build a STEM marble run and learn about motion. Lastly, would like to obtain different animals to have different sensory bins that they can create scenes, habitats, and so much more!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
