My Project

We are getting ready to start off another exciting year in Kindergarten and we could use your help with some of our basic supplies.

We need new pencils and markers for writing time and glue sticks and post-it notes for our math work!

Some of these basic materials will be used for our learning times like glue sticks needed for our cut and glue phonics and math activities. Supply pouches will help keep our materials organized. The markers have a dual use - they are fun to use for beginning writing instead of always using pencils, and they are great for our quiet time coloring choices. Snacks are also an essential part of Kindergarten learning so we have fuel for our bodies to last for a long 7 hour day!

Some of these basic materials are used for our academic times(markers and pencils), some are to meet our needs (tissues and disinfecting wipes), and some are to support our social and emotional health - the fun that is a part of our classroom (play-doh and bubbles) - all of which are essential for our learning in Kindergarten!

Thank you for your support in getting our year off to a great start!
