My Students

Our kindergarten students are a beautifully diverse group of learners. Many of our students come to our kindergarten with English as their second language as well diverse socio economic needs. All of these qualities certainly makes our kindergarten a culturally diverse place for learning to happen.

Our students need to have a classroom that's inviting, comfortable and engaging for the best learning to happen.

As kindergarten teachers it's our job to get our students hooked into learning and to make them feel safe and in return they will be engaged learners!

My Project

All children spend most of their day in their classrooms! Please help to make three kindergarten classroom great by providing seating choices for our students.

My plan is to have little spaces within the classroom for students to work independently or with a partner.

These materials will develop their inter and intra personal skill which are necessary for their best learning!

Young students need many choices within the classroom to spread out and to be comfortable and these materials will provide that flexible seating that is a must in kindergarten classrooms. Your donation to our projects would be greatly appreciated!
