My Students

Did you love kindergarten? My students do! They come to school eager and ready to learn every day.

I teach kindergarten to a highly motivated, fun, and diverse group of students at a Title I school with 67% free and reduced breakfast and lunch.

While I provide my students with a safe and nurturing environment where they feel comfortable taking risks and trying on new things, the school and I are unable to provide all the materials that are needed in order for them to reach their full potential. Hands-on science materials and books are items that we are unable to provide, but would benefit my students greatly.

My Project

My students need the science materials and books that you can provide for our classroom. My students love science and they get so excited when they are engaged in science activities. In order for them to have this engagement, my students need hands-on materials. The Learn to Brush Demo Kit, Big Bubbles Set, From Seed to Plant Specimen Center, Real Bugs Discovery Kit, Learn to Recycle Activity Kit, Environmental Awareness Library, and the Instant Science Trays with Colors, Magnets, Sounds, and Magnifiers will provide hours of hands-on science learning experiences. By providing hands-on science materials and books, my students will have the items needed to participate in inquiry based learning and allow for academic success.

Please help my students by supporting science education in the classroom.

By providing these items you are helping to make my students successful through hands-on inquiry based learning. Science is so important! Thank you for your support!
