My Students

My students are eager kindergarteners. They love to explore and learn. Kindergarten is the first school experience for most due to COVID. We have started off the year with amazing books and materials thanks to generous donors.

Unfortunately we are still in this pandemic and are wearing masks to stay safe while learning.

We go through masks like toilet paper in kindergarten and it is hard to keep buying extra masks out of my own pocket. Please help me buy more masks, wipes and sanitizer for my room.

We also need a headphone and computer mouse per kid to help them navigate their Chromebooks. These will be for the kids to keep and take with them to the next grade.

My Project

I am requesting books with the plush toy sets for a winter break gift. We are learning to read on our own and the plush toy would be an awesome buddy to read too.

Make some kindergartners super happy with their new friend and book!

My students will continue to use their buddy to read other books to and be able to keep them. Most of my students don't have access to books outside of school. I have already spent my own money on other classroom supplies or I would purchase these for everyone!
