My Project

Hi there! I have begun teaching Kindergarten at Gault Elementary School and moved into a brand new classroom! This means that we don't have some incredibly important and helpful key items, such as book display shelves. I took a peek into some other kinder classrooms and saw that these play a key role in helping students access picture books to become familiar with reading/books and enjoy. Our class library currently looks like a big sad pile of books on no-so-accessible shelves. I would also be so happy to be able to have a comfy seat to sit on when reading these books to the students! The current desk chair I wheeled over from a free-pile down the street is a little too tall and a little too narrow... So thank you for supporting me having a comfortable seat! We could also use more books in our class library. Thank you so much for supporting our sweet little learners. We will all be so grateful for our new class library and for your thoughtful contribution to our learning. Thank you!
