My Project

I have been an upper grade teacher for 21 years and have decided to move to transitional kindergarten this upcoming school year. Classrooms can be so sterile and uninviting, especially older schools like mine. I want my little preschoolers to feel all the warm and cozies in my classroom, so I am working hard to provide them with items that I feel will cater to that. I had a mural painted on one of my walls, have purchased "grocery stores, work benches, and ice cream stands," as well as, fun rugs and twinkle lights to make it feel more like a space to grow and learn in.

I think that having these items will create a feeling of safety and joy.

As they listen to stories, look at books, and play each day, they can look around the room and find beauty in all that surrounds them. I am hoping to create a space with these items that brings smiles each day.

I appreciate any funding for this project. Thank you greatly!
