Description:

We are seeking funding to purchase hands-on, movement-based learning games and materials for our kindergarten classroom. At this critical stage of development, young children learn best through play, physical activity, and sensory engagement. Traditional desk work often does not meet the diverse needs of early learners, especially those who benefit from kinesthetic and active learning styles. This grant will help us nurture curious, confident learners who are actively engaged in their own educational journey.

The goal of this grant is to provide more interactive games and learning tools that allow students to move, explore, and engage with educational content in meaningful ways. These materials will support foundational skills in literacy, math, and social-emotional learning, while also promoting motor development, collaboration, and joy in learning.
