My Students
I have 24 eager kindergarteners who love to learn. Every day is an adventure for them and they love gaining new knowledge to further their educational careers. They come from an area with limited resources and don't have a lot of things that many kids take for granted. Reading is huge in kindergarten and my students love to read however they have many other interests such as math and science. They are so enthusiastic and I enjoy every day that I get to append with them.
My Project
My school is in a district which is a very low income district. Many of these students do not get the toys at home that are needed to help them develop socially. I am asking for these toys for a dramatic play center in order to help my students learn how to interact with their peers in a positive manner. By providing tools for social interaction, students will be able to work with partners and use their imagination. Imagination is extremely important in every area of academics. This will allow my students to develop a larger vocabulary when it comes to reading and writing. I thank you very much for your generous donations!
