My Project

Kindergarten life is the kind of life where there's never a dull moment. My children are always filled with lots of energy and are always ready to discuss new things, then try the topics out while they're engaging in purposeful play time. The best place and time to hear the things we've discussed is while dropping in on the conversations and dialogue happening in the home center.

Our current home center items have been around since before I started teaching 25 years ago, so they have lived their life, and my children deserve something better.

Aside from being more than a bit ratty, nothing has handles or knobs. Parts are missing, and I'm a bit over watching them struggle to make do with what they have. All the items in this project would replace the defunct items in our current home center.
