My Project

The materials in this request are highly useful for exploring concepts taught in Kindergarten. In my classroom we already use K'NEX construction kits - thanks to generous donors giving through Donors Choose in 2017 - to explore geometric shapes in two and three dimensions, to learn about the properties of simple machines such as wheels and inclined planes, and to work cooperatively with others to solve basic geometry, physics, and engineering problems in teams. It is my goal to develop problem solving strategies in the minds of my students so that they will be able to attack problems without fear, but with relish - a mental condition that is obviously beneficial in many areas of life. These construction kits are a truly exceptional learning tool and fun to use.

We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

It is always a great pleasure for me to see students engaged in lessons that are fun and have real meaning for them. My students will use these new K'NEX construction kits to explore different ways of making spinning tops and spinning wheels and teeter totters and merry-go-rounds and models of space craft and all sorts of marvelous inventions. Your donation will make a real difference.
