My Project

These are some things we need to get the new 2024/2025 preschool year started! Some art items for the class to enjoy!

Some new books for engaging whole group time.

a few things we need to add warmth and color to our room. Also, face tissues! I purchase so many with my own money, it would be lovely to start with a supply of Kleenex. 18 vibrant 4 year old children will get to use the items on a daily basis to enhance their preschool experience. The first few months it is so important to establish a warm and inviting classroom.
