My Project

One of our units of study during the school year is all about seeing. We discuss the different things we see in our classroom, our environment, and the different tools we can use to see.

I am requesting a microscope, a telescope, binoculars, and mirrors so the children can take a closer look at things in their classroom and environment.

Using these tools in the science center. Students will be able to see things through a different lens. Students will learn how to handle different tools and pretend to be future scientist!

We are also requesting a dry mat to see how it will help to keep our floor dry at the water table.
