Littles Love Learning!

Help me give my students the best beginning to their learning adventure! My school district serves a high risk population and the school has a lack of funding for classroom needs. I thank you for your support!

My Project

I love teaching little people! I just was hired as a Transitional Kindergarten teacher- this is the bridge year between preschool and kindergarten. My school is serves very at risk students. I would love to introduce my class to lots of fun hands on activities to grow their imaginations, get their tiny hand muscles ready for writing, help them to have a dramatic play area in which to learn social and problem-solving skills. My classroom lacks a place to store learning games and supplies. I would love to be able to have a large plastic storage unit that locks. I also would love a nice cozy and comfy rug for my students to sit on and help warm up the aesthetics of the room. Thank you!
