My Project

Learning in kindergarten is unique - no other grade in school is quite like it. There are so many curricular goals and standards to meet, but they need to be taught in developmentally appropriate ways.

Kindergarteners need to move and to create a world of living color all around them.

The materials in this project will support both of those things. No one likes to spend too much time sitting still - adults included - so the best kindergarten classroom provides opportunity for movement and sensory input, whether it's through a trampoline or a squishy ball!

They also love to create, and the more art supplies, the better. We go through construction paper faster than you can blink, because we work to capture their attention and feed their brains with hands-on activities that they can really connect to. These materials will really help make that happen!
