My Project

My students are so courageous, headstrong, and bright. They bring so many personalities to the classroom and it can be an eventful day in Kinder. I am requesting these items to make sure my students can continue being their bright unfiltered selves. I don't want them to worry about crayons, finding supplies, or being able to show everything they have learned and will learn.

My students are the best and brightest and I want them to continue being the best I know they can be.

My biggest goal is to make sure they have everything they need in the classroom so they are focused on the learning that is happening.
