My Project

I am looking to help my Kindergarten students gain important knowledge that will be the base for all their education to come! I moved from MN to teach Kindergarten in Colorado Springs. I would love to help my students grow to the best of their ability, and I need some resources to do so! They need extra support in literacy, mathematics, and social/emotional. These tools (sensory tiles, magnetic tiles, counters, sensory toys, alphabet dice and stamps, stickers, etc.) would help me bridge the gap caused by COVID-19 and help these students get back on track! Everything is greatly appreciated, and my students, thank you!
