  • Science Table for Scientists!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank you for donating to my "Science Table for Scientists" project so that I could purchase a new table for our science center where my students can explore and investigate scientific concepts.

    Having a designated space to work on scientific inquiry allows my students to explore and nurture their natural curiosity. This station has been used daily during our science block to learn about kindergarten science SOLS including the life cycles of plants and animals, weather, push and pull etc.

  • Tools for Technology!

    Thank you for donating to my "Tools for Technology" project. This project has allowed me to purchase new sets of children's headphones for my students.
