My Project

I have the loveliest group of Kindergarteners this years. I cherish their love and excitement of learning each day. Their love has definitely reignited my own passion for learning new things. These particular materials will enhance our day to day. A new place to write our morning message, which is a pivotal part of our day. A place to store materials so they do not get lost or broken. New bins to store food, books, games, and whatever else we can can think of! I know these kids and they appreciate all the things we are able to provide for them and their learning experiences.
