My Project

Help me expand our science center with STEM toys that are appropriate for 3 and 4 year olds. We need engaging activities like magnetic toys, a train set and a balance, that will ignite the love of learning in STEM. We will use these toys in our daily learning center as part of their choice-time as well in small groups.

Science is so important for our very young students because it promotes critical thinking, problem solving skills, and encourages further academic achievement in the future.

With your help, we can provide a fun and exciting way to teach science and math to our students which will make a life long difference in their education. Please join our classroom by helping to improve our STEM center.
