Kindergarten Here I Come

Help me give my students a classroom that is filled with items to help them grow, from water bottles to headphones, and treasure treats.

My Project

I am a first-grade teacher who is moving to kindergarten. I am excited, but I am in need of items to support my kindergarten students. Our carpet is present but in need of a cleaning, so that is why we are looking for a cleaner to keep on hand. Additionally, the curriculum is a bit different, so I am requesting sight word items and materials to support me in my new role and keep the kids learning.

Our students are at a disadvantage compared to others in our community.

My students must have materials such as headphones so they can focus on learning during Chromebook time. They also need water bottles to keep hydrated because families are unable to purchase items, so this is why I am requesting help. Thank you in advance for your help!
