My Project

The use of magnifying glasses and specimen jars helps children focus in on one thing at a time. They allow children to explore their natural world. These science tools will get my students excited about science, language, and connection.

What type of kid doesn't love to find something around them and ask questions about it!

Using these science tools effectively can increase a child's focus, improve communication skills and foster a love of science and the environment around them.

I'm also asking for ink to replenish our classroom printer that is running low. Our next heavy print project is printing each of the student's faces. These will be attached to their Spring plant to make it look like they have crazy plant hair. Please send positive thoughts that all of our seeds sprout!

Thank you so much for your time and consideration of my project.
