Making the School Year Great for My Mixed Age Class!

Help me give my students new materials to enhance their learning this school year and push them to be kindergarten-ready!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finley's classroom raised $521

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am requesting materials that will engage 3,4, and 5 year olds in their learning this year as I am in charge of the mixed age classroom. I am hoping that my returning 4 year olds will be able to work on their skills diligently through the help of these new materials and will encourage their younger peers to gain knowledge as well. I am also hoping some of my materials will help my special needs learners to grasp the concepts and enhance their fine and gross motor skills this year.
