My Project
Our kindergarten classroom is in need of a refresh to create a more vibrant, organized, and engaging learning environment for our young students. With your support, I hope to provide essential supplies and fun additions that will spark creativity and keep our classroom running smoothly.
I’m asking for donations to help us purchase much-needed items like pencils, crayons, glue sticks, and a sharpener to replenish our basic supplies.
To keep things fun and motivating, we’re also looking to add pencil charms and desk pets—small incentives that our students love and that encourage good behavior and hard work.
In addition, we need a classroom clock, a glue gun for crafts, headphones for focused learning, and individual mailboxes to keep student work and communication organized. A new bulletin board background will help us create an inviting space to showcase student achievements and learning themes. And of course, new books are always a welcome addition to inspire a love of reading.
Your donation will go directly toward creating a refreshed, exciting, and effective space where our students can learn, grow, and thrive every day. Thank you for helping make our classroom a special place!
