My Project

I am able to devote time during the final weeks of the school year to wind, parts of a flower, lifecycle of a frog, and lifecycle of a butterfly. These materials would allow more interactive learning and playing during these weeks. I would be excited to build a library around these themes and have models to display. The incorporation of these items would strengthen my science units and add excitement to the final weeks of kindergarten! It would be so beneficial to enhance our science units with these new supplies!

Mrs. Eriksen will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by November 8.
