My Project

The items I'm requesting will significantly impact their learning and our classroom environment. Mailboxes will give each child a personal space to receive notes, artwork, and important school communications, fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility. Tape, stickers, and velcro dots will make learning hands-on and engaging. We'll use them for art projects, interactive displays, and to create visual schedules, which are essential for young learners. Calendars will help us understand time concepts and build routines, while stamps will add fun and creativity to our learning activities, particularly in literacy and art.
