My Project

I love the inquisitiveness and the curiosity my students bring to class. These items will improve the quality of the classroom during center time, engaging students in hands-on learning and interacting with their peers.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve memorization, hands and eye coordination, but you will also encourage working independently or actively working in groups.

My students are special because I am the first teacher to build upon their educational foundation. I can give the students a head start in their learning.
