Classroom Basics: Make Your Mark!

Help me give my students primary composition journals, dry erase markers and pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kamikawa's classroom raised $577

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach a group of energetic and motivated kindergartners. They are of mixed ethnicities that include Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipino, and Caucasian. My students vary in academic levels, interests, behaviors, learning styles, and economic status. All of them have different qualities that make them learn and grow in their own special ways. It is my job to make sure I provide specialized and differentiated experiences for my students! No two students learn the same way. It's my duty and honor to help support their learning by creating an abundance of unique learning opportunities.

My Project

My students are eager to learn and we are now ready to start our writing journals. They will be using the pencils and journals to write letters, words, sentences and stories. Pictures will be an added detail that you will see in the journals.

These classroom basic supplies will be used throughout the day!

While we are practicing to write our letters, numbers and words in a journal we will also be using the white board as well. We have been using them quite frequently which is why we are in desperate need of more markers. During our math lesson we are also using whiteboards and dry erase markers a lot .
