Because of your generosity, our classroom has been filled with curiosity, creativity, and hands-on discovery.\r\n\r\nThe kaleidoscope kits have been a favorite. Students not only learned about reflection and symmetry, but also applied their knowledge by designing and building their very own kaleidoscopes. Having a tool they created themselves made the experience even more meaningful and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe color-mixing kit has also helped students explore how colors combine and how light and color work together. These interactive experiences are deepening their understanding in ways that worksheets simply cannot.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students the opportunity to learn through exploration, creativity, and wonder.
