My Project

My Kindergarten students are brand new to school and finding their way and place in the world. Help me foster a sense of self-love and acceptance by donating to this project. I would like to offer a variety of books that showcase how kids can see themselves as unique and special.

No two people are alike and your differences are what makes you, YOU!

My students will love listening to stories about discovering what makes each person special and learning to see the uniqueness in themselves. This project consists of a variety of books about positive affirmations, book bins to store the titles and project cases to store activities to go along with each book. By donating to our project, you will not only help kids build self-esteem at an early age, but you will ultimately help increase academic achievement and sense of belonging at school.
