My Project

Hello! I am first year kindergarten teacher, and I am so excited to teach this next year. I have listed items that I will need as a first-year teacher. As a kindergarten teacher, I have listed all things I will need from paper and crayons to flexible seating. I have listed flexible seating because it will allow my students to learn independence. Learning independence is vital for kindergartners.

I have also added tons of bright colors to make my room a super welcoming environment for them to enter as they are now just entering school.

I want them to feel so excited and eager to be in school.

I appreciate the consideration of my project!
