My Project

My Kindergarten students are so excited and ready to learn and grow their brains! I teach in a 30 student ICT classroom. Many of my students have never been in school before due to the pandemic. Although this is new and exciting for them, it can also be challenging without the proper materials needed to ensure that my students are receiving the best education they deserve.

My students have big hearts that are filled with love!

In our classroom, we will talk a lot about different cultures and all the things that make us special. These supplies such as the multi-cultural crayons, markers and construction paper set, will help students really be able to identify more with their artwork that they create of themselves and others.
