My Project

I am a first year kindergarten teacher and I am more than excited to provide my students the education that they need. I have been able to supply my class with the basic needs for the first few weeks of school, but realized that I need a little assistance in giving my kids the best education that I can. That is why I decided to use the resources around me and create this Donors Choose project.

My kindergartners are a great, fun and energetic bunch of students.

They are at the beginning stages of their learning and are more than excited to learn. These materials will be used to help each student to use their skills to improve in their reading, letter recognition and number recognition.
