My Project

I teach at a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students are my number one priority, and I would like to have different types of materials for them to use when they enter the classroom for the first time.

I am a firm believer that a pre-kindergarten classroom should be a welcoming place where students feel comfortable enough to focus on learning through fun, drawing, games, and music.

Preschool is an exciting and somewhat of an emotional journey for these new students leaving home for the very first time, entering into a big building filled with older students can be very scary. For many of my students, my classroom is their first introduction to school.

We are moving into a new school building next school term, and scissors, magazine holders, and laminating pouches are several items that we are running low on. Please help us to replace and add a few extra items to our classroom to make this be an exciting transition.
