Essential Tools for Kindergarten Explorers

Help me give my students essential supplies—like pencils, glue sticks, sharpeners, and dot markers—to help my kindergarteners develop fine motor skills, build writing confidence, and fully engage in hands-on learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ramirez's classroom raised $316

This project is fully funded

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

My students’ curiosity and teamwork make every day fun and full of discovery. Pencils empower them to practice writing letters and words with growing confidence, while glue sticks allow them to join shapes and images in art and literacy activities. Pencil and crayon sharpeners ensure each tool remains ready to support creative projects without interruption. Dot markers transform learning letters, numbers, shapes, and patterns into a playful fine motor exercise. Together, these essential supplies help cultivate independence, boost early literacy skills, foster imagination, and strengthen fine motor coordination in my kindergarten classroom.
