My Project
My kindergarteners are naturally curious and imaginative, seeing the world in a way that is uniquely their own. My students thrive when given the opportunity to explore new ideas and express themselves through hands-on activities. To support their creativity, I’m requesting construction paper, paint sticks, beads, and craft sticks—materials that will help them bring their ideas to life.
These supplies will play a vital role in nurturing my students' creativity while developing essential skills.
Construction paper will be used for collages and drawings, enhancing both art and literacy projects. Paint sticks will support creative expression in science experiments and story illustrations. Beads will help students practice patterning and sequencing in math, and craft sticks will be used to build structures during STEM activities.
My goal for this project is to inspire a love of learning across various subjects by integrating creativity into all areas of the curriculum. These materials will enable students to explore art, math, literacy, and science in an engaging, hands-on way.
What makes my students special is their boundless curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. They approach each new task with excitement and wonder, and I am eager to support their creative growth by providing the materials they need.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
