My Project

Walking into a clean, colorful classroom with art supplies ready to spark creativity is the best way to welcome young learners into Pre-K! As a Pre-K teacher, I want to ensure that my students start their school journey with bright smiles, clean spaces, and the tools they need to learn through play and creativity.

Many of my students are entering a classroom setting for the very first time.

A fresh, inviting space helps ease their nerves and gets them excited for the adventures ahead. With your support, we will be able to stock up on essential cleaning supplies to keep our room safe and healthy and provide art materials that will allow every child to express themselves, build fine motor skills, and explore their imagination.

The art supplies will open a world of imagination and self-expression. Crayons, markers, paint, and glue sticks are more than just fun—they build fine motor skills, support language development through storytelling, and give students the confidence to share their ideas visually. These materials help us create daily opportunities for sensory play, creativity, and collaborative learning.

Each resource requested will help me create a space where my students can thrive, feel proud of their work, and start their educational journey with smiles, laughter, and confidence. Your support means everything to our little classroom family!
