My Project

Dear Supporters,

Our kindergarten classroom is a place of curiosity and discovery, where young minds are eager to explore the world around them.

To foster this love of learning, we need your help to provide our students with STEM kits and interactive reading manipulatives. These tools will not only make learning fun but will also lay the foundation for critical thinking, motor skills and literacy skills. Through experiments.

The Magnet Movers set will allow students to explore the fascinating world of magnetism through fun experiments and activities, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as develop their motor skills which is crucial in the early stages of life.

Syllable Count Instant Learning Center will support students in breaking down words into syllables, aiding in pronunciation and reading fluency and Really Good Stuff Alphabet Arch Literacy Center activity set will help students with letter recognition and alphabet sequencing, foundational skills for reading and writing.

Ms. Kathryn Hope Borromeo
Grades PreK-2
