Mrs. O'Neill from Bellerose NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

You Blinded Me With Science!

My students need the Window blocks for our unit of study all about homes. The Mini Books are used as science journals when we go for nature walks and explorations inside the class.

My Students

Our students come from all different backgrounds and households, speak various languages from around the world, and come together to learn and share in our class. For some students, this program is their very first school experience.

Our Pre-K is filled with scientists, readers, mathematicians, artists, and explorers!

We love watching our students follow their passions and work with friends and classmates to have the best school experience possible.

The growth in our program is amazing! Thank you for supporting our youngest learners!

My Project

Our Pre-K students will use these materials to explore the world around them. We love nature walks and exploring all things in the natural world.

Our studies of our homes and the surrounding area will support the work we will do with the Window Blocks, Mini Books, and microscopes.

Using the Mini Books, our class can stop and jot all they see around them and wonderings they may have on our travels. The microscope will be used in the classroom to study different materials and treasures. The Window Blocks are going to be a fun addition to our units studying homes and where we live.

We are hoping to enhance their learning by supplying them with fun and colorful tools!
