My Project

Aloha! In preschool, we do not have a set curriculum. We create units of study based on the students' interest. Because different classes have different interests, most of the literature for the studies are not provided.

I am asking for high-quality literature to pique, build on, and expand my students' interests and knowledge for our upcoming studies.

I am also asking for some new center materials for my students to use. Our current building blocks are not very colorful and do not stick together well. Some new Legos, that fit together nicely and come in a variety of colors will be much more engaging to the preschoolers. This will inspire and expand their creativity.

Out next study will be on pets, and I would like to introduce a class pet. I have a fish tank, but we need the supplies before we add the fish. I am requesting aquarium gravel and plants to decorate the tank and provide some cover for the fish.

Mahalo nui loa!
