Fun in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students adequate resources to keep learning fun, yet engaging!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bortnichak's classroom raised $588

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am redesigning a kindergarten classroom to keep learning exciting with new resources. This project will help enhance the learning environment for my upcoming kindergarten classroom.

These new resources will make the learning environment inviting for students just entering their educational path.

The students will be able to use these resources in multiple settings daily to teach them everyday skills. The materials will make the classroom more appealing to students as some of them will enter a classroom for the very first time.

The carpet will be where my students will gather multiple times a day to do whole group lessons, morning meeting and where we will end our day. The balls and chalk will be used for outdoor recess. The students will have access to the books for guided reading, based on their reading level.

Getting this project funded will help change the atmosphere of my classroom.
