My Project

I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten next year; however, my sweet little students need supplies to help them learn. I am looking for some storage options for the classroom, some fun flexible seating, books, and some fun manipulatives for my new students. These little ones will be learning so much through their first year, and I would love to be able to provide a fun, safe, engaging, work environment for their first experience in school. I have included a few flexible seating options to help them with their wiggles.

These supplies will help students with social-emotional learning as it will allow for play time.

Students will have access to flexible seating which will allow students to engage in learning and move about. I will also use the storage for books and manipulatives. This will allow students to have open access to the supplies that help them learn.Having these supplies on our classroom will allow students to work on their reading skills, fine motor skills, and social-emotional skills, and it will also be a great time to learn social skills. This will provide an engaging and fun learning environment for all! I look forward to teaching these tiny humans!
