My Project

My lovely kindergartners are with me all day learning and socializing. These kindergartners work hard exploring new material, learning how to navigate socially, and developing their sense of self. For many of my students, this is there first introduction to school. Having a warm, friendly and comfortable place to come each day sets our kindergartners up for a lifelong love of learning.

Please help to give my kindergartners a comfy place to sit.

Chairs that are the appropriate size are especially important for our little learners as they are taught how to write letters, numbers and make sentences for the first time. Most of our current chairs are cracked, broken and very uncomfortable to use. A proper chair will help my kindergartners stay focused and happy. Thank you in advance for making our classroom a success!
