My Students

This project will serve children who qualify for public preschool either with a diagnosed disability or by meeting low-income requirements. Children in this program are ages 3-5. When a child with a diagnosed disability turns three years old, they are eligible to attend our program. They typically stay in our classroom until they are old enough to go to kindergarten. This means some children are in our class for almost three years. The amount of growth we see is amazing!

My Project

Thanks for your interest in our project! Our goal is to give our sweet students the best start for an awesome year! We are excited to be back in the classroom this year, and the materials provided from this grant will start us off on the right track!

Our kids LOVE colored masking tape and play doh- they are the 2 favorite things in our art center.

The electrical tape and labels and stickers will be used for labeling and defining areas around our classroom. We are also requesting kinetic sand. We have a sensory area where each child has their own sensory tub and we need sand to refill them for this year. Thanks so much for helping us!
