My Project

Hello thank you so much for taking interest in my project. I have a bunch of kids who love to learn and share! Sounds familiar, right? But the problem is they have hardly any access to these fun books or educational toys at home so sharing learning becomes hard for Kindergarteners. Even when kids feel upset sharing a book together can make others feel better. Reading a good book, playing together and sharing a snack with a hungry friend can build a welcoming classroom and a friendly community. To make this possible I need a library of exciting books(Who can beat Eric Carle and Leo Lionni!) and games (Dominoes that come with large dots to fix problems with addition or a cash register) that boost math skills and some nut free snacks. Please donate generously to materialize my new year dream of making a "fun class" for my little Einsteins! I believe in you just like they believe in me!
