My Project

Literacy and math centers are extremely important in my kindergarten classroom. Having the right materials in these daily centers will help to engage and enrich my students. I love seeing my young students begin to stay focus and learn new things.

The donations for this project will help my students become independent and responsible students-while having fun learning.

Many students will need extra help at first, and some students will understand things right away. It is wonderful to see students working together, sharing ideas, and creating new friendships while helping each other learn. Having these new materials will allow me to spend more time with each of my students. "What we learn with pleasure, we never forget!" (Alfred Mericer)
