My Project

This will be my very first year teaching kindergarten, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome my students into a space filled with curiosity, creativity, and care. Kindergarten is such a magical year—it's where the foundations of learning, social growth, and confidence are built. I want to give my students the best possible start by making sure they have the tools they need to feel successful, safe, and inspired every single day.

With your support, I can give my students the basic essentials that truly make a difference in their learning and daily routine.

Crayons and glue will fuel their creativity and hands-on exploration. Pencil grippers will help tiny hands learn how to properly hold a pencil, setting the stage for strong handwriting skills. File folders will keep our daily take-home folders neat and organized—helping students (and families!) build responsibility and routine. Crayon caddies and Clorox wipes will help us maintain a clean and organized space, which is so important in the early grades. And headphone jack adapters will allow my students to fully engage in digital listening activities that build early literacy skills.

My students are bright, eager, and full of energy. Many are coming to school for the first time, and some may not have access to learning materials at home. What makes them truly special is their joy in learning and their endless curiosity. My goal is to create a warm, well-structured environment where every child feels confident and cared for—where they can grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

Thank you for helping me make this first year in kindergarten meaningful, magical, and memorable—for me and my students.
