We Can't Wait to Get a Science Center in Our Classroom!

My students need a science table, chairs, a microscope, magnets, and science manipulatives to get a science center up and running in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. L.'s classroom raised $411

My Students

Can you image a preschool classroom without a Science Center? I hope not! But that's the case in our classroom right now and they will benefit greatly from a Science Center. We need more Scientist, Engineers, etc. and in order to promote Science career fields our children need a Science Center.

My students attend a community school in Illinois.

My preschool children are very energetic, happy, playful, and love to learn. They love our Frogs in our classroom and even though we don't have a center for them. They come on my desk and make sure they get fed and check to see if they are still alive.

My Project

By having a rectangular table and chairs will allow my children to have a Science Center in our classroom where they can go and learn. Since we don't have a Science center they are missing out on crucial learning in that field. The microscope can help the children get interested and learn about various insects that are on the slides. The Backyard Counters will give the children an opportunity to recognize various bugs as well as count them. The magnetic ring will help the students to recognize the various forms of shapes and how they are arranged. The magnetic rings will show the children how force work between the magnetic. And Design An Insect will allow the children the creativity to design insects in the correct way as well as be creative and make a new design of an insect.

By supporting this project, you will be providing an tremendous experience for our children to grow and love the field of Science.

As our world continues to expand the need for more Scientist is at a demand and we need to expose our children to this field as early as possible to give them an opportunity to want to embrace this field as well as make it a career choice. If we never expose them to the Science field how can we expect them to have an interest in it later in life. While our children are young and have their minds open to new and exciting things this is the time to expose them of this wonderful world of Science. Our children can grow in various ways and by showing them that you care about Science will be a dream come true for them as well as be a blessing to them in their education today by supporting them in having a Science Center. Please help support our classroom obtain a Science Center that will create young Scientist, Engineers, and much more!
