Kindergarteners Are HUNGRY For Reading Materials!

My students need Language Instant Learning Centers, Alphabet Sounds Teaching Tubs, Teaching Tubs Storage Rack.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elmore's classroom raised $498

This project is fully funded

I teach Kindergarten in a high-need, inner-city community in which children often come to us lacking educational experience and literacy skills.

My students often struggle with learning because we are missing the hands-on experiences that they so much desire! My students start their educational experience with a desire to learn. As a teacher, I need to continue this desire with appropriate materials that attract them, keep their attention, and assist them with learning by giving them the chance to use hands-on manipulatives to guide their learning.

The Instant Literacy centers and Alphabet Letter Sorting Tubs (and storage rack) that I have requested will give my students the chance to experience and learn from letter identification, letter/sound matching, rhyming, beginning sounds, ending sounds, and writing activities that are appropriate to their age and experience.

With your support and donation, my students will be able to build the basis for their educational experience. Please support my classroom with these materials and help feed my kindergarteners' love of learning!
