My Project
As a kindergarten teacher, I strive to create an engaging and supportive environment where my students can grow socially, emotionally, and academically. To kick off a successful year, I’m requesting a few essential items that will help make learning both fun and effective!
My Students:
My classroom is filled with curious, energetic, and eager young learners who come from diverse backgrounds. Many of them are experiencing school for the very first time, and I want to make their introduction to education a joyful one.
What We Need:
Expo Dry Erase Markers: These markers are used daily for letter and number practice on whiteboards. They help build writing confidence in a low-pressure way.
Bubbles: A simple but powerful reward! Bubbles are a favorite incentive for positive behavior and can be used for sensory play and outdoor fun.
Copies of The Night Before First Grade by Natasha Wing: I want to gift each student a copy of this heartwarming book as a keepsake and reading tool to ease back-to-school jitters and encourage a love of books.
White Cardstock Paper: Durable paper is a must for creating student name tags, learning games, crafts, and take-home projects that won't fall apart easily.
With your help, we can provide a welcoming and resource-rich start to the school year for every kindergartener in my class!
