My Project

Hello, I am a new first grade teacher and went in to an empty science materials classroom. My student's eyes pop and their body posture changes when I mention the words - science experiment!

Hands-on learning is essential for all and especially at a young age like first graders.

I have been using my own assets to purchase hands on/interactive science materials for our classroom. However, the well is dry! Students will interact with the science materials throughout the day.

Please consider funding our hands on/interactive classroom.

Thank you!

Mrs. Pittman Cranberry Elementary School Grades PreK-2
