FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilson's classroom raised $648

This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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

Having the right organizational supplies in a kindergarten classroom is essential for creating a structured and nurturing learning environment. Young children thrive on routine and clear expectations, and tools like labeled bins, cubbies, folders, drawer organizers, and visual schedules help support their development of independence and responsibility. These supplies keep the classroom tidy and efficient and teach students essential life skills such as caring for their belongings, following routines, and working within a shared space. With your support, we can provide these foundational tools that help our youngest learners grow academically and socially in a well-organized and welcoming environment.
