Trip To The Shore

My students need a sand and water table with lid.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Troxell's classroom raised $257

This project is fully funded

Pre-kindergarten children will learn about sand and water exploration while role playing ocean travel experiences. The students will explore their senses as they manipulate their way through our curriculum. Other topics would also be ocean animals and their habitats.

Our pre-kindergarten program lacks funding for materials. My students do not have the resources to travel to the ocean so I will bring the ocean to them.

We need a Sand and Water table with lid. This waterplay experience will be used on a daily basis to enhance our pre-kindergarten curriculum. My students always enjoy water and sand play as they often learn to interact with their peers during this time.

Please help 3 and 4 year children have the opportunity to experience ocean life from a classroom in the city.
