My Project

All of my kindergarten students need basic essentials to help them be successful throughout the school year. Although these materials seem small it will make a major impact on students' day to day experiences. The folders help the students stay organized. The storage bins give everything a place so that students can find what they need independently.

Art is so important in school, and I work hard to fit it in to all subjects.

Crayons and color pencils allow students to bring their art to life.

The materials on my list go fast when you're working hard and having fun. My students will use these materials to be productive, organized and creative.
