My Project

The materials that I am requesting will give my Kindergarteners opportunities to improve socially, emotionally, and academically. Headphones are essential in our classroom However, my students have been using old headphones from the previous school years. These old headphones are constantly breaking, forcing my students to share headphones. I want to provide all my students with headphones that will improve the quality of their online learning. These new headphones will assist in reducing noise levels, increasing their focus and completion of work.

All students deserve to receive a high-quality education.

My goal is to make a positive impact in their lives and give them the support and resources they need to succeed.

Whole group instruction, morning meetings, learning games, music/dance, social-emotional learning, and group activities all happen on the carpet. Carpet time allows me to see my little Kinders demonstrate concepts we are working on and allows positive interactions between my students. It also provides the students with a safe space where they can develop a strong classroom community. The carpet we currently use it is too small, barely fitting all 16 of my students, causing them to feel very cramped. I want to be able to provide a comfortable learning experience on the floor. The carpet will motivate the students to stay focused on the academic content and allow them to comfortably engage socially with their peers.

As a first-year teacher, I do not have too many learning materials and resources. TPT is a necessity for teachers today. Unfortunately, the resources I would love to use are not included in the school’s subscription. The TPT gift card will help make a difference in my students’ learning. TPT has the perfect resources to meet the needs of all students, providing resources that I need to individualize instruction for my students.
