My Project

Get ready to roll, build, bounce, and create because our classroom is about to level up!

This project is bursting with exciting supplies that will spark joy, boost creativity, and help keep our learning space running like a dream.

First up, we need a super, handy, rolling cart to help us tote our water bottles to PE (hydration heroes, activate!), plus mesh zipper pouches to keep all our little treasures safe and snug.

We're bringing in the big fun with magnetic tiles, LEGO bricks, and squishy Play-Doh, perfect for building, imagining, and fine-tuning those awesome fine motor skills! Need a brain break? We’ve got rainbow pencils to add a pop of color to our day and giant inflatable beach balls for giggly, active group games.

Behind the scenes, we’re keeping things smooth with batteries to power our tools, dry erase markers for our daily genius, a paper shredder to say goodbye to clutter, and bright cardstock for crafts and creativity.

Because every celebration deserves a little extra sparkle, we’ve added birthday hats and classic games like Sorry! to bring the party into our learning.

Thanks to your support. Our classroom will be more organized, more creative, and a whole lot more fun, just the way we like it!
