My Project

My class of wonderful and kind kindergarteners displays a genuine love for learning. These enthusiastic young learners utilize iPads as a tool to enhance their reading and math skills. The incorporation of technology into their educational experience contributes to a dynamic and engaging approach, fostering a positive and interactive learning environment for these eager students.

My kindergarteners urgently require new headphones as they have a tendency to chew on the cords, posing safety concerns.

To address this issue and create a more conducive learning environment, we are seeking donations. The funds will be used to purchase durable headphones that can withstand the playful habits of young learners. Additionally, we aim to provide sensory chew necklaces and bracelets as alternatives, promoting a sensory-friendly experience for the children. Your generous contributions will ensure a safer and more enjoyable audio learning environment for these young students.
