• Let’s Discover How Much Fun It Is to Learn!

  Funded Feb 16, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to my class project, "Let's Discover How Much Fun It Is To Learn." My students were so excited to see the boxes delivered to our classroom because they know inside of the boxes that get delivered, are more opportunities for them to play, learn, explore and grow. They were right! They absolutely love the new additions to our Science center. The discovery board is such a big hit! The children love putting together the close-up, real life animal picture puzzles and seeing such colorful, up close pictures of so many animals they know and love. Because of your generosity, they are not only building on their science skills but on their speech and language and fine motor development. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
