My Project

Pre- K students are so inquisitive and eager.

They want to learn and require multiple modalities to do so.

Pre-K students should be provided all the tools possible to interact and explore learning materials at home and at school. I want all of my students to have what they need, at home and at school. Research shows that the more children have access to brain stimulating tools, the more the brain develops and learning takes root. All of my little people deserve to have a level playing field to experience success! Please help me provide them with a transition to school backpack.
