Knowledge Is Power!

Help me give my students the Lakeshore Word Family Readers and various materials needed to teach them how to read, write, and count throughout the year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wimbish's classroom raised $576

This project is fully funded

My Students

Kindergarten is an exploration through our developing senses and interest. This year my students will be experiencing the classroom for the first time in 2 years or the first time ever.

My students are learning how to read, write, and count.

Other students are working on developing their phonemic awareness to manipulate and build words. We love the outdoors, experiments, and connecting our learning to the world around us.

My Project

In Kindergarten, students will be learning and exploring letters, sounds, and learning to write. These materials will help aid students in their learning growth and help them reach their academic goals.

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading.

Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Students will be able to match upper and lower case letters, count, and link chains as we learn about numbers.

They will have access to themed books as they can begin reading about our current lesson/theme. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading
