Ms. Sarah's classroom raised $590

The Whys and Hows of Ideas and Learnings.

Help me give my students the experience of discovery, critical thinking, and comparing their explorations.

My Project

My children are unique and their own person. They bring new ideas and inspiration daily and share their thoughts with everyone. They come open minded and interested in learning new ideas and exploring.

The Whys and Hows let the children think, process, connect ideas to real world, and the ability to learn on their own.

The books related to the themes will help the children develop science and inquiry, using the books as a resource to look up their ideas. The mix and measuring set will allow the children to explore with different sizes and compare.

Science is a way for children to learn critical thinking. The children ask questions and can try to figure out the answers on their own. They work together to discover and compare their finding.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
