My Project

My kindergarten students need a variety of supplies. We need sturdy paper towels for spills, multifold paper towels for wiping our hands, Sharpie markers for labels, and packing tape. We will use the packing tape for taping down labels on folders, for taping labels to bins, and for our maker station center. We also need materials to help us build our early financial literacy skills. We need ten frame kits for counting and recognizing the different ways to make 10. We also need play dollars for the cash register in our dramatic play center. My students love to pretend that they are selling food at that center.

Your donation will provide my students with essential classroom supplies.
