Finish With Flair

Help me give my students some fun materials to help build on what we have been working on all year. They love to build and work with their hands and have so much fun while doing so.

My Project

My kindergarten students are so creative and imaginative. They have so much fun building and using their imaginations. I try to give them a lot of hands-on activities to reinforce the skills that we have worked so hard on this year instead of a bunch of dittos. These activities help them learn and strengthen their minds while also making it so much fun.

My students blow me away every single day.

They are able to take the skills they have been practicing and apply them in new ways. They love being able to build and play instead of just sitting at a desk all day. I am always creating new activities for them to use, but I really wanted to end the year with some extra fun materials.

I am grateful for all of the support I have received through your very generous donors.
