My Project

Kindergarten is almost over! It is such a bittersweet moment. My students have worked so hard and accomplished so much this year, and I could not be prouder.

To celebrate the end of the year, I want to give them all a gift bag to take home for the summer.

I would like to include things that are engaging and help them celebrate their special day.

All kids like to color, so crayons and coloring books are a plus. The glasses will also look really cool for their graduation ceremony. I am also hoping some fidget toys will make their day extra special.
