Kindergarten Refresh

Help me give my students some fun new materials for the end of the school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruder's classroom raised $558

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am blessed with an enthusiastic group of kindergarten students. They love to build and play. They will use the Magnatiles that I have selected during open play, and I am always amazed at the creations they can come up with!

I have also included a new laminator and some laminating pouches, as the one I currently have is not working.

Having my own laminator allows me to quickly print and create hands-on games that help them practice both math and literacy skills. In addition, I have included some fun stickers, markers, and a new set of classroom headphones for our use. We use headphones daily when using our iPads, and at this time of the year, some have stopped working. I have also included some new materials that will help me organize all of my center materials.
