My Students

Our classroom community includes children of ages 3, 4, and 5. It is made up of 20 students who spend extended time in the classroom everyday. They love learning through hands-on experiences!

My preschool students are always asking big questions and wondering about the world around them.

They are eager to learn new information and their curiosity goes beyond the walls of our classroom. They are excited to come to school everyday and they leave our classroom at the end of the day with a big smile and lots of new learned information.

My Project

We have been using our current classroom rugs and curtains for several years and they helped us create a warm and inviting environment for all this time. However, our rugs and curtains are old and have stains and rips on them due to daily usage. We would love to start the new school year with a clean new environment.

These materials will help us make our classroom an inviting space where our preschool students can learn and grow.

In addition to rugs, we have been wanting to paint our classroom. Last time our classroom had a fresh coat of paint was over eight years ago. We, as teachers, are willing to put in the work to paint our classroom walls but we would love some supplies, paint brushes, painter's tape, and furniture protecting plastic to help us complete this project.
