My Students

Hi! My students are the sweetest kiddos this year! When I first met them at their kinder screening in August I realized first how adorable they all were, but how behind they were academically compared to previous years. At first I was shocked, but then I realized that these 4 and 5 year olds were around 3 when they were in quarantine. I knew at this moment teaching these kids was going to be very fun and rewarding and I was right!

My students love to learn and are making it fun for me to teach them!

These kiddos have started out learning at a slow pace, but now that they have a knack for what school is they are rapidly learning the material presented to them. I am doing a lot of hands on learning, making a lot of anchor charts, and creating a lot of fun art projects in order to introduce a fun learning environment.

My Project

The materials that I am asking for are going to help my students to use their creativity while learning. Art supplies are something that doesn't seem to be easy to come by these days. I love journal writing and doing art projects to help my students learn literacy material. The easel and art supplies will give my students an opportunity to express themselves with their creative side.

My students will use your donation to help them create art and to help with their interactive writing!

Thank you so much for giving them the opportunity to have fun while learning!
