My Project

Hello Donors! I am looking to get materials to help teach our preschool students about science concepts. Preschoolers in the class have most recently learned about buildings and balls for 2 units. They have learned the vocabulary through books and videos as well as teacher directed lessons. But, now is the time for outdoor play!

Or school is preparing for an outside field day in which we will engage the students with activities to facilitate learning.

The students are really looking forward to hands on learning. Our plan is to use Jenga to reinforce building solid structures and ladder ball to teach motion and gravity.
