My Students

My students are the youngest learners in a pre-k to fifth grade school in a high-need neighborhood of Brooklyn. About 90% of the students in our school receive free lunch.

My students are four years old; a precious age.

This is the first school experience for most of them. They are caring, loving, funny and intelligent. They love to sing, dance, play, and learn new concepts through exploration. Watching them learn and grow these last few months has been such a joy.

My Project

Pre-K students learn through play. They often initiate their own learning by using materials in creative ways. While using blocks, many of them have shown interest in making "slides" and discovering what happens when they put different toys on the top of the slides.

The ramp kits I'm asking for will help my little engineers take their learning further.

They will discover what happens when they put objects on ramps or "slides" at different angles. They will also be able to try to slide objects down ramps of different textures. These kits will help my children learn science, math, and engineering concepts at four years old. Most importantly, this is learning that my students are interested in. These kits will surely provide them hours of engaging and fun learning activities.
