My Project

Kindergarten is a whirlwind of discovery—cutting, coloring, writing, and learning all day long! But with so many materials in motion, staying organized can be a big challenge for little learners. That’s why I’m seeking support to bring colorful desk caddies, headphone storage, and lanyards into our classroom to help my students learn the power of responsibility and independence through well-designed organization.

Imagine each student with their very own brightly-colored desk caddy—a cheerful home for pencils, glue sticks, and scissors.

These caddies will not only keep our materials in place, but will also help students easily transition between activities without losing time or focus.

In addition, I’m requesting a hanging headphone storage system to protect our tech tools and keep wires from tangling in desks or backpacks. This will teach students how to care for shared items while keeping our learning space safe and clutter-free.

Lastly, I’d love to provide durable lanyards for our hallway passes. These will give students a sense of responsibility as they move around the school, making transitions smoother and empowering them to make independent choices.

With your help, this project will bring structure, color, and joy to our daily routines—and best of all, it will help my students take pride in keeping their learning environment organized and welcoming.

Thank you for considering this project. Your support means more than you know and will have a lasting impact on both our classroom and our hearts.
