My Project

It takes a lot of materials and prep to get ready for a new school year. especially in kindergarten! Little children learn best when they are active in their learning and this requires a lot of hands-on materials.

These hands-on materials will help us stock our classroom with essential supplies to start our school year off right and have a great year!

Each table will get a bucket caddy containing pencils, scissors, glue sticks, and dry erase markers. We use these daily and multiple times a day when learning. In addition, things like the Play-Doh, markers, paper, etc. will be used often as we make projects that will help their learning come alive!

Finally, we need to stock our classroom with other essentials like tissues and supplies to make sure students are safe and comfortable here at school.

Thank you for helping our kindergarten class get off to a fresh start with much needed supplies!
