My Students

Do you remember what it was like in Kindergarten? Couldn't sit still, always wanted to play and use your hands? Kindergarteners learn best when they are allowed to touch and manipulate the world around them. These alphabet tubs are perfect for just that!

We are at a school whose primary focus is a high poverty, at-risk, urban population.

The students here are very eager to learn and have great potential! Our school is a Charter school whose funding primarily comes from the support of generous donors like yourself!

My Project

Perfect for exploring letter sounds, these teaching tubs let kids identify and sort a variety of adorable miniatures, play memory games and build vocabulary skills. Each self-checking tub comes with 6 high quality, educator-approved objects, plus uppercase and lowercase plastic letters.

Kindergarten is arguably one of the most crucial stages in a child's learning.

It is true what many people say "the most important things I learned in life, I learned in Kindergarten." The foundation for all formal learning starts in Kindergarten. These alphabet sounds tubs really work wonders; I have used them in two previous schools! Help me bring them to this school!
