My Students

Our students are eager to learn and are like little sponges at the kindergarten level. Many of our students come to us with significant speech and language issues and do not have much exposure to literacy at home. This year’s class is really interested in science.

My Project

Our kindergarten students are very curious about the world around them. They ask wonderful scientific questions, as all great scientists should. We would love to be able to give them the opportunity to have them find out the answers to some of these questions. The microscope will allow for our students to view objects up close. The germ books will help them answer questions about our germ research project. Let’s Find Out will help open up our students minds to many other topics of science and social studies. These materials will help provide our students with hands on science learning experiences for our in person learning. It is our hope that being able to answer some of their scientific questions will help foster their love of science.
