My Project
My kindergarteners are bright, curious, and full of energy. They come to school eager to learn, explore, and grow—many of them overcoming significant challenges outside the classroom. Our school serves a low-income, high-needs community, and my goal is to make sure every student has what they need to succeed and feel supported every day.
This project will help create a more organized, engaging, and effective classroom environment.
The Tonies characters will bring our listening center to life, making story time more interactive and exciting. The headphone splitter will allow multiple students to use the center together, promoting collaboration and independent learning during literacy rotations.
Math manipulatives will give students the hands-on tools they need to understand foundational number concepts through play and exploration. These materials are especially important for young learners who benefit from concrete, tactile learning experiences.
Organizational supplies—like storage bins and systems—will help our classroom run more smoothly, making transitions quicker and keeping materials accessible and neat. Finally, the curtains will reduce harsh sunlight in our space, helping students focus and stay comfortable during learning time.
With these resources, my students will have the tools they need to engage more fully in literacy, strengthen their math skills, and learn in a classroom that’s calm, welcoming, and well-organized. This project will help us make the most of every minute we have together—and I can’t wait to see how much they grow.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
