My Project

I have the best job ever! I get to teach the most adorable 5 and 6-year-olds, and there are some exciting changes that are coming to my Kindergarten classroom this year! I am switching from a half-day Kindergarten program to a full-day Kindergarten program, allowing the students to attend almost 7 hrs of school. This is going to be a long day for these little kids, so I am asking for some help to purchase materials that will support the needs of my students as they jump right into full-day Kindergarten.

The work of childhood is playing; I would love to purchase some materials for my students to play with and learn from at the same time.

The literacy and math puzzles, toys, and games will give my students a chance to learn letters, sounds, and math concepts while having fun and learning important life skills like cooperation and communication. My students will love coming to school and getting to use these exciting and engaging materials!
