The zip bags allow me to keep activities organized, protected, and easy to manage, helping lessons run more smoothly. The dry erase markers give students the opportunity to actively participate in center activities, practice skills repeatedly, and learn in a hands-on, engaging way.

Your support truly means so much to both my students and their families.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite gifts to create for students at the end of the school year is their kindergarten portfolio. Throughout the year, I carefully collect samples of their work and take photos that capture important moments, learning experiences, and milestones. These portfolios tell the story of each child's growth, from their first attempts at writing their name to their increasing confidence, creativity, and independence.\r\n\r\nIt is always amazing to look back at the beginning of the year and see just how much they have learned and grown academically, socially, and emotionally. The portfolios highlight not only their progress, but also the joy, curiosity, and pride they bring to our classroom every day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, I am able to create meaningful, high-quality portfolios that students are excited to share. This becomes a treasured keepsake for families, a way to reflect on their child's very first year of school and celebrate how far they have come. Many families tell me how special it is to look back on these memories together for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this meaningful tradition possible.

I'm happy to share that my students have not left a lid off a glue stick in months, a small but meaningful kindergarten victory! Having an ample supply allows students to work independently, stay engaged, and focus on learning rather than worrying about running out of materials.\r\n\r\nWith what feels like an endless supply of glue sticks, we are able to continue creating meaningful projects, strengthening fine motor skills, and exploring concepts through hands-on activities. These materials help make learning fun, interactive, and accessible for every student in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and support truly make a difference.
