Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Do you remember Science time in your Kindergarten classroom? I am looking to make Science hands-on and interactive for our little learners.

I have 30 wonderful students.

They are hardworking, happy, adventurous, silly, and love to laugh. The students attend an Illinois charter school with an extended day and school year. We are one of three kindergarten classroom at our school. For my little ones, it's a long day of work.

My Project

My goal is to amaze students with the wonders of magnetism as they make magnets float in midair, go on a magnetic scavenger hunt and even see how a magnet poles work! The kits will come with all the necessary resources to introduce magnetism to my Kindergarten students.

With your generous donation, this project will impact my students by giving them a fun way to learn science.

It will help them develop a love for science through hands-on activities.
