Knowledgeable Kinders Need a Place to Store Their Work!

My students need an organizer storage kit in the classroom to store their work so that they can take it home at the end of each day.

My Students

Do you still have art or projects that you did in Kindergarten? Well, my students need a place to put their masterpieces so that they can take them home to share with their families.

I have a wonderful kindergarten class.

My students come to school ready and eager to learn. They are a diverse group of students who enter school at a variety of levels and speak a variety of languages. Most of them have not attended preschool, but with teaching and continual support I get them ready for first grade. My students learn best through the arts. They love to create characters for a story or draw pictures of their families. Unfortunately, my school cannot provide a place for my students to store their work to take home at the end of the day.

My Project

Everyone needs a special place of their own. In Kindergarten, we call that special place a "cubby". There is excitement in every student's eyes when they come to school for the first time and see a cubby with their name on it. Students will be able to store books from the classroom library to take home and read with their family, artwork they have created, and even important letters or assignments they have completed.

With your support, my students will be able to have a sturdy place to keep their cherished work before they take it home.

Kindergarten is the beginning of our school career and where students create a love of learning. With this new cubby storage unit, my students will have a place to keep all of their supplies.
