My Students

Do you remember your first day of Kindergarten and sitting on the rug with your classmates? My kids don't have a carpet area as my classroom has been used as many different rooms! I want my kids to know what it is like to have a classroom space and a spot marker!

My students are the most lovable Kindergarteners you will ever meet!

With 24 of them we need a space for ourselves. We attend a public school in Minnesota and they deserve some special treatment. After a month of school it would be great to get them extra supplies but as a first year teacher I cannot afford anymore.

My Project

The resources will change my students lives because they will be able to explore painting with dots and they will be able to track the weather with those paints. The students will be able to do fun movement games/team building with the bean bags. The students will be able to be a part of a classroom community on the rug. All of these things and more will happen because of your generous donation!

This is important because as a newly married and first year teacher I do not have the funds to supply my students with activities and games that they need.

Your help with help me to provide that extra support to my kids!
