My Project
My kindergarteners are full of energy, curiosity, and joy. They come to school eager to explore, create, and connect with the world around them. As a first-year teacher, I want to give them the strong start they deserve by creating a classroom filled with engaging, hands-on tools that support both literacy and math learning. My students thrive when they can move, touch, build, and interact with their learning—so I’ve chosen resources that reflect those needs.
This project will transform our space into a more comfortable, organized, and engaging place to learn.
The Science of Reading Phonics Activities Bundle will help my students grow into confident readers using research-backed, structured lessons. The Hand2Mind foam pattern blocks and connecting cubes will turn our math centers into places of exploration and discovery. The Flex-Space washable comfy floor seats will give students a choice in where they work, helping them focus and feel at home. The supply organizer will keep our tools easy to find, so we can spend more time learning and less time searching.
Your support will help me build a warm, well-equipped classroom where every student can learn and grow. Thank you for helping me create a space where little learners feel confident, curious, and excited about school!
