Ms. T.
Grades PreK-2

I currently teach kindergarten in a high-needs public school. The kids are very diverse and there is a high poverty level.

I am a new teacher and have very few supplies. My kids love story time, and I would love the story props I have selected. Most of the kids I teach have never used paint brushes, and I know that would be a real treat!

I've selected some basic materials like the yacker tracker to help students self-monitor noise levels in the classroom in a fun way. I've also chosen some paint brushes, dramatic play costumes, bingo learning games, and story props to engage students' interest during story time.

Your help will ensure that my students get the best start in kindergarten. You will make it possible for them to experience painting for the first time! You will help them learn to love reading through the use of story props. What an awesome gift!
