My Project

Help me give my kindergarteners the storage and learning tools they need for a clean, organized, and engaging classroom!

In a busy kindergarten room, materials like books, art supplies, and learning tools can quickly create clutter.

This project will provide storage solutions to help us stay organized and make materials accessible for little learners.

The paper organizers, stackable book bins, and lidded storage bins will keep our classroom tidy and make it easy for students to find what they need. Canvas cosmetic bags will serve as individual student supply kits, promoting independence and smoother transitions. Velcro dots will help us label everything for easy access and cleanup.

To support learning, we’re including phonics games, CVC activity dice, and early reader book sets to build literacy and play-based skills. These tools make learning fun while strengthening reading, communication, and problem-solving.

Finally, the ergonomic desk chair will support me during small group instruction and one-on-one time, helping me stay focused and present for my students.

With your support, we can create a space that’s organized, safe, and full of joyful learning!
