This project is fully funded

My Project

One of our core Kindergarten traditions is to learn about the life cycle of ducks and chicks. We also get the amazing experience of having them in our classrooms to watch this process first-hand. Our students move on to the rest of their school career remembering this unforgettable time in their Kindergarten year. We would love to have your support in getting the incubator and heat plate our ducks or chicks will need to thrive.

Your student will come home each day so excited to share about these new changes happening in the incubator.

They will be able to make connections with their friends in other Kindergarten classes about what is happening in their classroom. Your help in funding these items will not only lead towards a new learning opportunity for our Kindergarteners, but it will also help in fostering positive relationship among them as well. Thank you!!
