My Project
I have 26 wonderful little kindergarteners students who are curious about how the world works! Our class is full of diversity in our languages, cultures, and so much more! In kindergarten we have time to connect with our learning during free play!
One of the most loved places to visit is the art center and the materials I have asked for will help enhance creativity during this time.
Students can use the paint markers to create pictures, the stamps to work on irregular words, crayons to bring color to their drawings, markers to practice skills and continue to make learning fun through play. These art items are such a luxury to have in the classrooms and will make a great difference to our learning by making sure kindergarteners fall in love with school and learning by playing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
