Pre-K Learning Equals Fun

My students need Magna Tiles to increase their creative building abilities. The water tubes, droppers and funnels set will enhance the water unit and encourage water play. The wrist ribbons will encourage creative dance during movement.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chekmayan's classroom raised $275

My Students

At my School, my 4 year old students are mixed backgrounds (White, many Polish, Spanish and African American) and eager learners. They just need the tools to help them explore their world.

Many have hard working parents desire their child to have an enriched Pre-K experience.

The students are well behaved and attentive. They are inquisitive and have a desire to learn. Words can't describe what a 4 year old is capable of. They are like a sponge at this age!

My Project

These supplies will enhance their future unit on water, encourage creativity and develop independent thinkers. The tubes will help with experiments regarding objects in water. The funnels will show how we can manipulate how water moves. The droppers will add fun to water play. They will make learning fun for these eager 4 year olds that are full of curiosity and energy. These kids love to dance. The ribbons will get them moving in new ways! They love to pretend to be scientists and the real bugs will be fun to look at with magnifying glasses. Perfect for our unit.
