My Students

I have a group of amazing kindergartners who need your help! My students are low-income students who attend a public Title I school. All of the students in my classroom receive extra help from my school in order to best achieve, such as free breakfast and lunch daily provided by the school. These amazing little people are so eager to learn and so ready to start rocking their futures. I whole hardheartedly believe these students deserve the very best and will succeed in my classroom with a little help! My students are my inspiration and come in with smiles on their faces, no matter what their home life is like.

My Project

Help me get my kinder babies items for our classroom so they can stay happy, healthy, and cozy. I am asking for snacks so that my students can always go home with something in their bellies. My students have been asking me for a play kitchen for a while now; I would like to provide them with a play kitchen so that they can work on social-emotional skills, conflict resolution, and develop life skills. I am asking for a futon that I can put in our library corner so that my students can get cozy on a small couch and read books.

My students are my world, and with your help, we can create a loving educational environment that they can, and will, thrive in.

These items will help my students use their imagination and work together, read more stories, and go home without being hungry. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
