My Project

Our Kindergarteners begin the school year with excitement and curiosity. Most of our students are unable to purchase items needed for the school year, such as the on-ear leather headphones, which are a must for independent work on their Chromebooks.

They often come to school for the first time and are just learning to share and communicate with others, and the Kaplan ABC Puzzle and the Diversity Puzzle will encourage these skills.

In addition, the Ice Cream Counting activity, Snap Together Letter Blocks, and the STEM activities will also encourage communication and socialization.

This project is aimed at welcoming our students into a diverse and safe classroom where they will learn to be social and independent.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
