Making Learning Fun

Help me give my students an exceptional learning experience. I want to keep my students engaged in the learning experience with hands-on building materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shanna's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

My Project

The STEM building materials, kinetic sand, and calm ball that we are requesting will help make learning fun and also will make them excited to learn more. As my students are being prepared for kindergarten, they will learn to have a fun and cooperative learning experience.

We also know that social-emotional development is on the forefront in many classrooms so I want to teach them the importance of emotional development.

By providing visuals and fun activities it will give the students a way of learning about the emotions they are feeling and a way to handle them.
