My classroom is a busy and active place with many opportunities for students to engage in hands-on learning activities and practice social skills.
I'm starting an adventure teaching kindergarten in a new district.
Our school has a unique environment where staff and students alike all feel like family.
My school is a rural Title I school with 75% of students that are low income plus receive free and reduced-price meals.
My Project
My students will use this painting easel every day during free choice centers. The easel will give my students the opportunity to experiment and be creative. It will also support their social-emotional learning, physical growth, problem-solving, literacy, math, language, and cognitive development.
Help me give my students a two-sided painting easel to enrich their kindergarten experience.
My students will be so excited to have an easel that is sturdy and the perfect height for them. Plus it has a space-saving drying rack underneath.
Since COVID-19, many students have had emotional and behavioral issues. This easel will give my students an emotional outlet.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
