My Project

As a dedicated kindergarten teacher, I strive to create a vibrant and engaging learning environment for my young students. This year, I am seeking support through DonorsChoose to provide essential supplies that will enhance their educational experience. The items requested are crucial for fostering creativity, collaboration, and a love of learning in our classroom.

The primary goal of this project is to equip my kindergarten classroom with the necessary tools that will support both academic and social development.

By providing these supplies, I aim to enhance student engagement during lessons, foster collaborative learning experiences, and support individual learning needs through diverse resources.

To achieve these goals, I am requesting the following supplies:

Dry Erase Markers: These markers will be used during interactive lessons, allowing students to practice writing letters, numbers, and words while receiving immediate feedback.

Whiteboards: Each student will have a whiteboard for practicing writing and math skills. This hands-on approach encourages participation and helps students visualize their learning.

Headphones- are essential for students to engage with audiobooks and educational software without distractions from their peers.

Phonics/Math Games- These tools will help develop early literacy skills through fun and engaging activities tailored to each child. These math resources will support hands-on learning helping students understand concepts such as counting, addition, and subtraction through play.

Snacks- Healthy snacks will ensure that all students have the energy they need to focus on their learning throughout the day.

Pencils- Providing quality pencils is essential for developing fine motor skills as students learn to write and draw.

By supporting this project, you are directly contributing to the educational success of my kindergarten students. Your generosity will provide them with the tools they need to thrive academically while fostering a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Thank you for considering my project!
