My Project

Due to the craziness our world experienced with COVID-19, many of my Kindergarten students did not attend preschool . With no prior school experience one can imagine the challenges and difficulties we've had this year. How to simply use crayons, without breaking them, how to sit in their seat without rocking them, how to keep their supplies organized was just the tip of the iceberg. Keeping their attention is a struggle, having them retain new concepts is a whole other issue. To obtain many of these concepts learned in school, using hands on materials truly helps their understanding. While giving them these opportunities it is also important to keep them safe.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

These centers and supplies will help them with their learning. The storage containers will keep them safe.
