Starting the Year With a Bang!

Help me give my students supplies for the classroom to start their year off right with items like crayon boxes, headphones, and water bottles to stay organized and focused throughout the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vian's classroom raised $422

My Project

When starting the year in kindergarten it is most of these students first time being in a classroom. The kindergarten classroom is where these kids learn what it is to be a student.

My students will be able to use these supplies to be successful learners.

We will use the folders and crayons boxes to learn how to stay organized. They will use their headphones and water bottles to help them stay engaged and focused in the classroom. Together my students and I, with our new supplies, will be able to start out our new school year with a bang!
