My Project

I have been a teacher for 6 years, and this is my first year teaching Kindergarten! Not only am I changing grade levels, but moving from Florida to Missouri. I am so excited to teach the littles, but I could use some supplies to get started!

My top priority is to provide my sweet students with learning tools that are multi-sensory and fun!

Knowing that all kids don't learn the same, it is important to have a wide variety of teaching tools so that nobody is excluded from the learning process. I want my students to have a positive learning environment where they are excited and comfortable to be in each day.

The majority of my supplies that I currently have are not Kindergarten-level, which makes it difficult to engage my new students in creative ways. To fill my classroom with materials for the appropriate grade would take my teaching options to a whole new level! I have also added some supplies to my list to celebrate our classroom community! I would appreciate any generosity that would help my students have the best year of school with lots of learning!
