My Students

Some of these sweet Kindergarten students are brand new to school - please consider giving them what they need! I'm a first year teacher and want to help ALL of my little ones do their best! The school I am teaching at has approximately 65% of the students who qualify as low-income, meaning they qualify for free or reduced lunch. This also means their parents cannot afford basic school supplies. I want them to have what they need to learn!

As a first year teacher, I am trying to be very wise about what to spend and have been scouring the Dollar Tree and the Dollar Spot at Target.

Both my husband and I work hard but the cost of school supplies for a classroom comes out of teachers' pockets. I know there are lots of qualified teachers who also need help and I'm praying that I will be one of them who will be blessed with donor funds! Thank you and my little Kinders' THANK YOU too!

My Project

My most wished for item is the large easel and the class pack of dry erase boards (complete with markers and erasers)! This is because my sweet little Kinders' attention spans are very short! They are only 5 years old and they require activities that will keep them engaged. By using the movable easel, this will help me be more flexible when teaching (by moving with the easel instead of being tied to the front of the room to teach). Secondly, by giving each of my students their own dry erase board (complete with marker and eraser!) each student will be able to show me right away their numbers or their letters or their sight words and I can see which students are tracking instantly when on the floor with me during whole group learning time. The remaining items on my list are items that I know they will go through quickly during the year (i.e. the Expo markers, the pencils, the crayons, the dry erase pocket sleeves, etc)! Finally, the carpet markers are so the kinders' can easily find a spot to sit on without fighting over a spot - this saves so much time in the classroom!
