My Students

I work in extremely high poverty with free lunch and breakfast for all of the students in my school. My students never fail to amaze me. They rise to any challenges; they face and teach me new things every day.

I have a large group of kindergartners ready to blossom as readers, writers, and mathematicians.

School is a fun and safe place for my students, and it is my job to make sure they want to come to my class and have what they need to be successful. I need to make sure my students are safe.

My Project

It is the start of a new year and there are some classroom basics I will need to have a successful year. My Kindergarten students need water bottles to refill at the water station. We are no longer able to use water fountains and I would like to have a water bottle in the classroom for each of my students to help them stay hydrated.

Kleenex Tissues will help keep our classroom clean and my students healthy.

We need tissues as we practice good health and hygiene practices. These tissues will be used throughout the year to keep us safe.

We need healthy snacks for when we are hungry or forget our own snack at home. I like to have snack on hand to ensure everyone has something to eat at snack time. These supplies will help my students meet some of their basic needs in my classroom.
