The Joy of Exploration!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $665
This project is fully funded
My Project
The goal of this project is to create a learning environment where my students are able to explore and observe in order to build knowledge. Children often see things differently than adults do. Teaching them things is great but teaching and letting them explore helps them to develop a deeper understanding of what they are learning and it's fun! The materials I have added to this project will be set-up into science center which students will be able to have access to throughout the day. It's wonderful because it will reinforce the learning we are doing in the classroom.
