  • Creating Our Own Future!

    Funded Feb 22, 2024

    I am thrilled to share the incredible impact your generous contribution has had on our PreK classroom. Thanks to your support, we now have a fully stocked STEM cart, and it has transformed our learning environment in wonderful ways. The STEM cart has become a central part of our daily activities, and we've integrated its resources into our science, technology, engineering, and math explorations. The children are eager to engage with the materials, from building structures with magnetic tiles to experimenting with simple circuits and coding with beginner-friendly robots. The STEM cart has made it possible for us to incorporate hands-on learning experiences into our curriculum daily. They used craft materials to create trees, animals, and rivers, then incorporated technology by adding small LED lights to simulate the sun and rain. This project not only enhanced their understanding of ecosystems but also honed their problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students worked in small groups, brainstorming ideas, drawing plans, and then bringing their visions to life. Watching them collaborate and communicate so effectively was truly inspiring. The excitement was palpable when the students first saw the STEM cart. Their eyes lit up, and there was an immediate buzz of curiosity and enthusiasm. They couldn't wait to explore each item and figure out how it worked. Their initial reactions were filled with wonder, and this has only grown as they continue to discover new ways to use the materials. Building on the success of the rainforest project, we are now embarking on a "Space Exploration" unit. The students will use the STEM resources to create models of planets, rockets, and space stations. This unit aims to broaden their understanding of space, encourage imaginative thinking, and develop their engineering skills as they construct and test their designs. The STEM cart has opened up a world of possibilities for our young learners, allowing them to explore, create, and innovate in ways that were not possible before. The hands-on experiences they are gaining are invaluable, fostering a love for learning and a curiosity about the world around them. Your support has made a significant difference in our classroom, providing us with the tools to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and look forward to sharing more of our adventures in STEM with you. Thank you for giving our students the opportunity to dream big and explore their potential.”

I have a diverse group of 4 and 5 year old students that are 100% economically disadvantaged, but that does not keep them from success in the classroom. These are the most self motivated and eager students I've ever had the pleasure of teaching. Everyday they show up to school ready to learn...Ready for a new adventure!! We rarely have any discipline issues because the students are always engaged in what they are learning. We are a Head Start school and teach using hands-on activities and manipulatives. We do not use worksheets. We encourage authentic and creative work from our students.
