My Project

Every year I am excited to meet a new classroom of kindergarten kiddos. They are eager to be in school and love learning. Many students in my school can't contribute supplies commonly used in the classroom.

These supplies will ensure each of my students begins with new supplies, headphones and other necessary tools for success that can put a financial burden on our families.

Our littlest learners need a variety of ways to "show what they know." This means a variety of supplies are necessary. We use dry erase boards markers, crayons, pencils, and markers daily as we develop fine motor skills. Primary journals are used to practice what we have learned. Headphones are essential as students complete district assigned tasks and assessments on the computers. Chair bags will give them a way to store their materials and teach responsibility in caring for their belongings. These materials will help students become engaged learners!
