The Countdown to Summer Has Arrived!

Help me give my students some amazing gifts to celebrate their completion of pre-k 4! I would love to provide a beach bucket to each child, along with more summer-themed items.

My Project

My students have displayed tremendous growth this school year and I would love to be able to provide them with some summer-themed items that they can utilize over their vacation before beginning kindergarten in September. My students are always interested in our science based activities and would truly love buckets to collect items on a nature walk, as well as engineer castles at the beach. The beach balls will help improve their gross-motor skills as they continue to strengthen their catching and throwing abilities. The popsicle holders will create a science moment as they can see the differences between holding a popsicle in their hands versus in the holder. The sunglasses will provide a viewing difference and the magnetic photo frames will hold a picture of them holding a sign that says what they would like to be when they grow up.

My students are inquisitive and loving engineers, deep-thinkers, and artists, just to name a few of their characteristics.

Please consider donating to help me make this goal come to life!
