My Project

Hello there! I am teaching a brand new bunch of kindergarteners this school year. These students deserve a classroom that is academically engaging as well as being filled with joy everyday they come in. In order for this to be true I need your help with getting materials to provide and environment my students will feel welcomed and supported and challenged to reach academic excellence.

The bean bag will add to the comfortability of the classroom when students needs sometime alone to recharge.

The treasure chest prizes and desk pets will be incentives and produce a joyous classroom. The crates, paper trays are for organization within the class. Please help me in providing this to my well deserving students.
