My Project

All students deserve to feel safe, feel seen, and feel loved. A first step is in achieving these goals is the beauty and lightness in a classroom! With you assistance, this project will help provide a loving environment for my kindergarten students to thrive in and engage with their learning each day.

This project will assist in procuring the supplies (markers, crayon boxes, bell, glue, stamps, lights, paper, erasers, bulletin board supplies, laminating supplies, essential oil, bracelets) needed to start the academic year for my 30 students, while creating a space that my students deserve.

Light shiplap boards will create a vibrant environment to showcase student work. Students will have supplies to organize their work, and engage in the essentials of the learning right away! With your help my students will grow into the talented scholars we know they can be!
