A-Z Countdown to First Grade

Help me give my students the supplies needed to create the best last 26 days of Kindergarten!!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pickett's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year my co-teacher and I plan exciting and fun activities for the last 26 days of kindergarten. Each letter of the alphabet has an activity associated with it. For example, A is for art day, B is for bubbles, and so on. I have created this project to help cut down on the costs for us and our students families.

Our biggest goal in kindergarten is to instill a love of learning.

The A-Z Countdown project celebrates everything we have been doing this year and creates excitement in the final days before summer. Our school also struggles with low attendance, and this helps encourage participation during the last days of school.

We need help purchasing art canvas's, glitter, water balloons, and other supplies to help us make special kindergarten memories. Thank you so much for helping us!
