Engineering in Kindergarten

Funded Oct 5, 2020

Thank you for all the amazing donations to my classroom. Your generosity has impacted every student in my classroom this year and for years to come.

When I received the new materials my students were beyond excited to see what new items were donated for them to build and create with. As I opened each box we discussed the correct way to build with each of the new items. I feel this was a critical point as we have not had a single item be misused or break.

As students arrive to school our morning tubs are out and ready to be used. These tubs contain the new materials that were donated for my students to build and create with. They work in small groups or alone, depending on what they prefer. As they work together they are learning how to problem solve, share materials, gain an understanding of how different items go together, work with gears and pulleys, bend and manipulate straws into many different shapes, and learn through play.

Thank you for all your generosity. We greatly appreciate it.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Caldwell
