My Project

My students love to learn! They come to school every day ready to tackle new challenges, share their ideas, and try new things. It's a joy and a pleasure to work with young learners, and I want them to have lots of fun materials that encourage hands-on exploration and play.

I am asking for beads and beading supplies to stock both our Kindergarten rooms.

In addition to providing fun fine motor development through arts and crafts, beads provide ample opportunities for arts integration. We will use these beads to make rekenreks and counting necklaces for the 120th day of school and so much more.
