My Project

Not only are we learning to read in kindergarten, but also counting, adding, subtracting, comparing, measuring, and so much more!

Why not combine math with literacy?

One of the best parts of kindergarten is reading aloud to my students. Having the opportunity to provide content rich books into our math block will be incredible! This Donor's Choose project supports reading and math! 100th day of school, counting dinosaurs, counting superheroes, comparing numbers, and adding monsters, just to name a. few.

Thank you for your consideration in donating to our kindergarten project!
