Circle-Time Space for our Keiki

Help me give my students a comfortable learning space! Our classroom has hard floors and we need a carpet for read-alouds and circle time. Other items in this order will help to address our students' learning needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lenchanko's classroom raised $987

My Students

Our school emphasizes the importance of early childhood education, especially for students with disabilities. We have an amazing preschool program that is working hard to develop the whole child and prepare our students for kindergarten.

Our 9 amazing friends...

We are a special education preschool class, full of diverse learners. Each of our students is special and unique. We are all learning that school is an amazing and welcoming place where we can feel safe, loved, and capable. Our strengths are celebrated and our needs are addressed within our classroom.

My Project

We will be using these materials to create a whole group learning space for our students. Our students currently sit at individual desks with chairs during our learning time, and it's difficult to teach and learn in preschool this way. We need a carpet big enough to seat our students. We also need the circle time chart to help us organize our lessons and create a visual reminder for our students to see what they're learning.

This learning space, along with the tape measure, mystery box, language sorting, and alphabet beads will help us deliver the instruction our students need!

Please help us to transform our classroom into a more appropriate learning space with engaging activities for our little ones.
