My Project

It's hard to believe we are halfway with this school year. I'm already planning our end of the year celebration. As of right now, I currently have 6 kids that will be attending kindergarten for the 25-26 school year. I will have more students added to my class throughout the school year.

I will be making each student an end of the year bucket to celebrate their effort and learning.

Our theme for our End of the Year Celebration is Oh the Places You'll Go. I would like to give each child the book "Oh the Places You'll Go." I would also like for all my students to wear matching t-shirts. I would like to be able to decorate our room with balloons and "Oh the Places You'll Go" decorations. Our class will be having an end of the year celebration. My students' parents will also be invited to our end of the year celebration. I'm very proud of my students. We just need your help getting these items through our door.
