My Project

This year, our group of kindergarten students have exceptional curiosity. They are always wanting to learn more, especially when it comes to science.

Recently, our kindergartners have shown an interest in learning about birds and their nests.

The materials requested in this grant will help us read about birds and nests, observe birds through our binoculars and bird feeder with camera access, and explore more about birds through hands on materials, like x-ray slides we can use with our light table. The stuffed birds each have their own sound, which corresponds to the actual sound that particular bird makes.

We are so excited to provide engaging materials for our students to enhance their learning.
