Crafty In Kindergarten

Help me give my students get classroom supplies to learn in creative ways.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The requested crayons and glue sticks will help students to create crafts and complete work in the classroom. Many students need to practice letters, numbers, and colors to learn in kindergarten. With glue sticks and crayons students can complete independent work and projects with ease.

We also use iPads daily, and headphones would make it easier for my students to focus on their own learning without distractions.

Kinetic sand will be used for brain breaks throughout the day to give my students a chance to productively take a fun break to help their brains learn and work better when they are done and go back to their assignments. Kinetic sand can help with SEL learning as well allow students to take breaks if needed.
