My Project

Our classroom consists of 15 Headstart students who come from diverse backgrounds and love to learn and play! Each child is unique, creative, and eager to learn about the world around them! Our students love to learn through hands-on activities and experiences that both teach them new things and keep them actively engaged. We want to cultivate a classroom of students who will have a lifelong love of learning and growing!

Spring is the perfect time to celebrate and grow our classroom science area!

Students love to build, create, and experiment! With these new materials, students can do all of these things and more! The tuff tray is so versatile that we can do experiments on it and with it! We can use the engineering kits to not only build, but learn by experimenting as well!

Spring into science would be provide great additions to our classroom to keep our students engaged and help them grow and think outside the box!
