Make It Stick

Help me give my students materials to help my students become confident, independent learners.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bowman's classroom raised $317

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am requesting contact paper, a laminator, scissors, laminating pouches and a paper trimmer to have durable decorations and play materials in my classroom. I will use to lamination for games, labels, and teacher materials for testing students. The scissors and trimmer will allow me to cut out the games and decorations. I will use the contact paper to label where toys go in the centers. There are six centers (science, art, table toys, literacy, dramatic play, and science); every six weeks, our thematic unit changes. Labeling the bins with contact paper will allow my students to independently and successfully put materials back where they belong. I will use the paper shredder to place paper in my water table.

Preschool: where the adventure begins and imaginations thrive.

Thank you for viewing my project and helping me achieve my goals of having a fun, safe, and loving environment, where my students become independent and confident learners.
