Project Kindergarten Basics

Help me give my students the basics to finish out a wonderful kindergarten year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. C's classroom raised $256

My Project

hey donors, listen up, let me tell you a tale,

'Bout why school supplies for kindergartners never fail.

First off, those markers, oh so bright,

Spark creativity, make imaginations take flight.

With colors aplenty, they'll draw and they'll scribble,

Learning through art, every stroke so pivotal.

Next up, glue sticks and paper, essential tools,

Crafting masterpieces, making their own rules.

They'll cut and they'll paste, creating with glee,

Fine motor skills sharpened, can't you see?

Then there's pencils and paper, oh what a pair,

To write and to draw, to express and to share.

Letters and numbers, they'll learn to write,

Practice makes perfect, each day and each night.

So, there you have it, the importance of gear,

For kindergartners finishing the year.

School supplies pave the way, ignite the spark,

For a journey of learning, a journey to embark.
