My Project

Handwriting is a big part of kindergarten! A cool sharpener and pencil grips are a great way to encourage handwriting practice. Please help us start the year off "Write". the goal is to establish good handwriting habits from the beginning of the school year.

Kindergarteners are super rough on headphones and go through several pair in a year.

New headphones with supported wires will be so great for my students! They are child friendly and have extra covering on the wires. They are also cushioned for comfort which is often a complaint when it is computer time.
