My Project

Pre-K is the best age to teach! In my classroom, we get to be very hands-on and create while learning. We always aim to reuse and recycle as many materials as we can but some materials require occasional restocking so students have access to everything to help their learning and creativity soar!

I am hoping to hit the ground running at the start of the upcoming school year with plenty of chart paper to capture students' ideas and construction paper to help them create and express themselves!

Laminating pouches will allow me to create games and durable materials for students to help them practice writing their names and so much more! The materials from this project are classroom basics but their impact will be huge. Please consider helping out our classroom! Thank you for your time and consideration.
