My Students

Thank you for checking out our DonorsChoose.org page! The kindergartners and I are grateful that you're here and would love to tell you more about us.

The kindergartners in our room are an amazing group of kids.

They are kind, generous, and eager to learn everything that they can! We love playing with math "toys", reading and singing, and learning how to write. At S. Elementary, we are back in the classroom at full capacity, which is a new experience for all the students. They are doing a great job at making the most of what they have. They are inventive, creative, and always ready to work together to learn. Together, we can give them learning tools that all kids deserve!

My Project

These book bins and easels will continue to enhance the reading and writing my students are beginning to learn. My classroom library is a place that my kindergarteners really love - with new book bins, each book will have a spot and they will be able to find what they love! The students have learned to "treat books like gold" and these bins will help them do that.

I am most excited to use our new easels - this will make the process of learning writing much more fun!

With the easels, the kindergarteners will be able to practice letters, practice numbers, and create beautiful works of art. These subjects can be challenging, and the easels will help make it more enjoyable.

Along with book bins and easels, a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be amazing to use! My whole kindergarten team will be able to use these lessons and cute materials to make our students' kindergarten year as fun as we can.
