My Project

I love how curious, creative, and full of wonder my pre-K students bring with them on a daily basis. Every day, they come in ready to explore, share, and grow together. To support their development, I'm requesting materials that will enrich their learning space. The Post-it easel pads and double-sided tape will help us to create anchor charts that reinforce key concepts during lessons. iCloths will keep our tech tools clean and functional for interactive activities. A rocking chair will make our read-alouds more engaging and comfortable, giving students a cozy spot to listen and learn. These items will truly support meaningful and joyful learning.
