My Project

We're nearing the end. Help our kindergarten classroom finish the year strong! We're replenishing some staple items in our room and also continuing to create new memories. We are using items such as the pop-its and dice to continue growing our addition skills, the numbers cards with cubes and tracing are to continue developing basic math skills. Items such as the Magna Tiles are to add more joy to active play time as well as using them to make connections to geography, during literacy time. We are asking for a handful of books, some of which represent the differences you will find in our room and some that cover the remaining topics we have this year. The headphones are being requested so students who are not able to provide their own, have a pair to borrow throughout the year; they are intended to be used for years to come. The items in this project will be used to send end of year memories to families as well as replace items from this year.

These little ones were out of school during the teacher strike, they've worked through yet another year of a pandemic and are more resilient than ever.

We've endured some tough times. They are proud of themselves and so am I! Please help us restock our classroom through your kind deeds!
