Kindergarten Classroom Essentials: Giving My Students the Tools to Learn

Help me give my students the essential classroom supplies they need to write, create, practice new skills, and participate successfully in daily learning.

My Project

Every August, I welcome a brand-new group of kindergarten students into my classroom. For many of them, this is their very first school experience. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel safe, confident, and excited to learn every single day. My students learn best through hands-on activities and daily practice. I am requesting Crayon Boxes, 3D Geometric Shapes, Wired Headphones, Crayons, Dry Erase Boards, and more. These classroom essentials will provide them with the tools they need to build foundational reading, writing, and math skills while encouraging confidence and independence. Your generosity will provide my students with the everyday materials they need to actively participate in learning. These supplies will be used daily and will help create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
