My Project

Let the creativity, exploration and learning begin for the best student kindergartners!

My classroom students soak up all that is taught!

Help me aid in making them little sponges!

We use directed drawings to entice the love of becoming artists with colorful illustrations that support stories read, maps drawn, written stories and free drawing time. The colored pencils will help support their portraits. You can not have too much color!

The pencil boxes will house everything...crayons, pencils, glue sticks, and newly found trinkets. A box is the organization that is needed!

Throw the kindness around like confetti and to support this idea, the kindness crowns will awaken the kindness in everyone. Every time an adult sees a student being helpful, tatadadaaaa!!.... the student will be bestowed a kindness crown! Kindness everywhere will be seen and heard!

The awning will initiate and create an inviting environment with a flair for safari.

This year will be amazing!

Please help the uphill climb to kindness, creativity and organization!

Your support will guide us to have a positive year of learning.
