My Project

Kindergarteners are an enthusiastic group of learners! We love to play, laugh and learn our way through the year. We often love to get our wiggles out through dancing and creating. I am a firm believer in an inclusive classroom, and I strive to have strategies in place for my general education students and my students that need additional support.

As a Kindergarten teacher, our classroom is often one of the first school experiences for students.

Our current backpack storage is in white baskets underneath our tables. Students often knock over our baskets without even realizing it and we have had many accidental backpack and water spills.

With a backpack storage cart, we will be able to hang our backpacks and store them in our storage pod each day to keep our work area clean, organized and easily accessible for everyone.
