My Students

I have a kindergarten classroom full of active and curious learners that love to explore the world around them through their senses. No matter where they are at individually, each student is capable and unique in their abilities and learning styles. I want to foster their growth and development by allowing them to learn through hands-on play experiences in developmentally appropriate ways.

My students attend a low income school.

I have 20 students this year. They come from various backgrounds and cultures. Each student brings unique experiences and knowledge to our classroom.

My Project

Kindergarten is a very developmental year for students. For many students it is the first time they've been in any sort of school setting. These supplies will help my students this year and for years to come.

Fine motor skills are essential for students to be successful in school.

These supplies will help my students build their fine motor skills and muscles in their hands which will in turn help improve their handwriting, typing skills, cutting skills, and more.

Not only will these supplies help improve all these essential skills, it will feel like play while doing so because these supplies are so versatile. Students will be able to play while building essential muscles and skills.
