My Project

I am asking for resources that I hope will promote creativity, fine motor development, and a love for learning as my students prepare to enter kindergarten. The headphones and dry erase boards will help students as they use their computers for math class work. The snack s will be used as rewards and incentives. The parachute and sensory supports will be used in the calming corner of our classroom.

These simple items like crayons, art supplies, and various cleaning supplies will help our classroom stay tidy.

All these resources will make a big difference in my students' educational experience. Having the right supplies and a welcoming, supportive classroom will build their confidence and readiness for the next step in their education journey. I hope to add another list soon but in the meantime this will become very beneficial. So thank you in advance if you’re able to help, my students and I will greatly appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
