Classroom Essentials for Kinders

Help me give my students crayons, work trays, and Expo markers to help us continue our learning this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Makovec's classroom raised $235

My Project

Now that we are a few months into the school year, there are some essentials I've realized would help my class make even more progress.

We need work trays so that students can practice writing their letters in sand.

This multisensory experience helps students internalize letters and sounds. The color-coded crayons provide an additional multisensory format for students to practice sounds and sight words.

Whiteboards support all kinds of learning experiences, but even the most responsibly used markers run out of ink quickly when they are being used daily. This refill will get us through a few more months of engaging activities.

Flair pens are an engaging tool for students to use to revise their writing

Finally, we are finishing up an engaging unit on monarch butterflies, and my students want to attract some to our school garden! We would love to give it a try by planting some milkweed!
