Mid Year Kindergarten Wants

Help me give my students middle of the year kindergarten classroom needs & wants.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Erbs's classroom raised $460

This project is fully funded

My Project

This is my first year teaching kindergarten and teaching in a new school district. After the first few months, I've found that there are things the students are needing & wanting.

Items such as jumbo, triangular pencils, flexible seating, age appropriate educational games, a bulk pack of headphones, soft lighting for more comfortable learning areas, & more.

Things I didn't realize my class would need and want until the middle of the school year.

I always try to make sure my students learn in a comfortable environment. If they aren't comfy, they wont want to learn. Soft lighting and flexible seating help make that goal become reality! Another goal of mine to to make learning fun! Games and learning toys help capture their attention and learn through play.
