My Students

My creative 4 and 5-year-old students are thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They get on Zoom each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many students in my class lack the materials for completing assignments at home because of the lack of supplies and resources.

Unknowingly victims of a water crisis and now the virus this is hindering their development. The hands-on materials can help enhance their educational needs and development.

My Project

The materials will make a difference in my students' learning by helping with hands-on counting, gross motor activities, sorting, and letter recognition.

The At-Home Learning Kit (Pre-K) has colorful bears to sort and count, a language-building nursery rhyme book, a ball that will help with gross motor activities and all the supplies are developmentally appropriate for fun.

The jumbo eyedroppers are the right size for their hands to make perfect observations and conduct investigations. The students can explore the push and pull of the magnetic wands at their homes. Once they realize that some objects are attracted to the magnet and others are not, they can sort them into two sections: magnetic and non-magnetic.
