My Project

My kindergarteners love learning about the world all around them and how things work, grow, and develop. Their minds are just filled with questions and knowledge. I would love to build a hands on science center with materials that they can come over and explore, ask questions, read books, and get excited about our world.

By having a specially designed area where my students can go and look through non fiction titles, pictures, images, and diagrams, and materials they will get excited about topics we are learning and build their love of science and non fiction.

I believe building a hands on learning environment makes for the best learners and helps our future leaders become excited about special areas of interest they may see a future career in.

Mrs. Bretz will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 19.
