My Project

The end of the year can be challenging for many different reasons. Our stamina is slowing down. The weather makes it difficult to focus.

Together, we can bring new opportunities to the students that will spark their curiosity and keep their interest.

In this project, I have included hands-on items like the pinwheels that support our wind energy research. There are also materials to make these pinwheels vibrant and personalized like tempra sticks.

Finally these materials will be used to create their end of the year folders which will contain their work they have done throughout their PreK year.

Thank you for helping us finish the year strong!
