Ms. Reece Chaputnguak & Amaqigciq Schools

Chefornak, AK Grades PreK-2

My Project

In our kindergarten and first-grade classroom, learning happens best when students can touch, build, create, and explore. Young learners are naturally curious, and hands-on materials help them develop academic and social skills while fostering a love of learning.

This project will provide my students with the supplies needed to support fine motor development, creativity, and early writing skills.

These materials support problem-solving, collaboration, and early STEM learning through building and experimentation, while inspiring imagination and a joy for reading.

With these materials, my students will be able to explore new ideas, express themselves creatively, and build strong foundations for future success. Your support will help create a welcoming, engaging classroom where every child has the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
