My Project

Kindergarten students are so eager to learn and are still excited about going to school! Our students are a diverse group that represent many different cultures, socioeconomic statuses, and families. They come together at our school that celebrates who they each are.

We want to build our future leaders, creators, artists, and innovators.

We believe that these students hold so much promise and curiosity and are excited to capitalize on both of those things! ELA and Math have become such important skills to have, and they will only continue to become more important. We want to build on these skills early for our students.

My Kindergarten students are always hungry for knowledge. These school supplies will help my students to have the necessary tools needed to learn at home and in the classroom; as in lights, pillows for flexible seating, and supplies for our clam down area. I work with amazing Kindergarten students that comes from a variety of backgrounds. They love coming to school every day to learn and participate in our lessons and projects. They are always excited to learn new concepts/skills. I want to ensure all my students have all the necessary materials, in order to be successful, not only at school, but at their home.
