My Project

After over a decade of teaching third graders, I am making the switch to Kindergarten! Help me prepare for my future first-time learners! I am looking to create a hands-on, engaging, and organized environment. The three-tier carts will act as supply caddies at each of my classroom tables. The colored pails will act as supply holders. These resources will help my little learners quickly and easily get their resources.

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards and lamination pouches will allow me to create hands-on resources to engage learners while making concrete connections.

My hope with this project is to gain resources that allow my kindergarteners to feel successful and making their transition to the educational world as easy as I can.

Mrs. Coleman
Grades 3-5
