My Project

In our kindergarten classroom, hands-on learning is key to building strong math and literacy foundations. We are seeking engaging, developmentally appropriate materials to enhance our math and literacy centers, providing students with fun, interactive ways to practice essential skills. These resources will support counting, number recognition, letter-sound connections, sight words, and early reading comprehension.

Many of our students face challenges outside the classroom, and having access to high-quality learning materials will help them build confidence and a love for learning.

With your help, we can create an exciting and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive!
