FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Taufa'asau's classroom raised $730

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have an amazing class of Kinders that want to learn but struggle with emotions. Please help them be motivated to come to school with fun extras like play-dough, silly pens and cool pencils. I know having these fun items will entice the kiddos to be excited to write and create at center time.

I want my kidders to be excited to explore and use their knowledge to read, write and draw.

When learning is fun, we learn more. When learning is fun, we can relax and cortisol levels stay low.
