Mrs. Dahlquist from Bradenton FL is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Small Groups Need Individual School Tools

Help me give my students who need extra help separate individual bins of the items they need to learn their letters, reading, and beginning math. We cannot share any items so they each need their own set.

My Students

The sweet kindergarten students I work with are eager to learn their letters, and to eventually put those letters together to form words. They desire the knowledge of learning to read. The students I work with need added instruction outside their classroom in small focused groups of four or less. Each of these darling students want to succeed and learn everything that they can!

My Project

Hello! I am Mrs. Dahlquist, and the kindergartens I work with are in the lower percentile of their classes. I have a small group from each kindergarten classroom at my school. Due to the Covid-19 virus the students cannot share their classroom tools. I have asked for a lidded box for each student which I will label with their name and fill up with the necessary tools for their learning!

With your help, each child will have the tools in their individual box to help aid them in learning their alphabet, learning to read, and working with beginning math.

I plan to use plastic alphabet letters to help teach the children their letter names and eventually the students will use them to sounds out words. Additionally, I'll use clear plastic clipboards to use for tracing. The students will use dry erase markers on the clipboards to work on writing letters and words. Crayons and pencils will be used by the students to learn to hold them correctly to write and draw. Math manipulatives and ten frames will be used to help teach math concepts and beginning math. I have so many ideas for educational projects utilizing a paper cutting machine that will make learning fun and easy! Plastic boxes will be used to hold each student's learning tools and supplies to keep everyone safe by having an individual space for each student during these Covid-19 school days. These supplies will enable each student to have the critical supplies they need to become successful beginning readers and learn elementary math.

Please consider helping these precious children to feel special and to gain the tools they need for success in learning to read and beginning math!!!

Thank you,

Mrs. Dahlquist
