My Project

I love how curious, creative, and full of energy my kindergarten students are. Each day, they come to school ready to learn, explore, and try new things even when it's hard!

The supplies I’m requesting will help create a hands-on, engaging classroom environment where all students can thrive.

Crayons, clay, and construction paper will spark their creativity during art and writing activities. Pencils and dry-erase markers will support early literacy and math practice. Flexible seating will help my wiggly learners stay focused, while sensory toys will support emotional regulation and help students feel calm and safe.

Every item will play a part in helping my students feel confident, comfortable, and excited about learning!
