My Project

We would love these supplies to help our classroom look beautiful and run smoothly throughout the year. Some of the supplies are for student engagement, like the cards. I plan to send those home to congratulate students on meeting goals or having good behavior. Some of the supplies, like hand sanitizer, mosquito-repellent bracelets, and skin-colored bandaids, will help keep my students safe. The last group of supplies like the staple gun and step ladder will help me decorate our classroom to make it a fun and engaging place to be.

Many of our students thrive at school because they feel safe and secure when they are on campus.

I want kindergarten to be a positive experience so my students can develop a life-long love of learning. These supplies would allow me to continue to support my students so they can be successful throughout and beyond their academic careers.
