Creative and Confident in Kindergarten

Help me give my students books and materials to promote social emotional skills and creativity!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hu's classroom raised $993

My Project

After a long year of empty chairs, silence, and countless Zoom sessions, my kindergarten classroom has once again been bustling and buzzing with life! It has been wonderful welcoming students back to school and learning together again, but mask-wearing and social-distancing has impacted students' lives and the ways they have interacted with others around them.

These materials will help support students' sociol-emotional skills, while also allowing them to use different mediums of art to express themselves and their voices.

No little learners are the same, and it's so important to encourage them to explore their unique abilities and gifts through art and hands-on activities.

These books will also help students to better understand and manage their emotions. Learning self-awareness and self-regulation skills are an important part of kindergarten, and these books are very age appropriate and kid-friendly. They would be a great and useful addition to our classroom library.
