My Students

Since March 13, 2020, my bright, energetic, and diverse kindergarten class has not been in school. So many things have changed in their lives. They have been so creative, thoughtful, and full of questions throughout the school year! Most students in my class come from low-income, hardworking families. Now, students must learn from their small apartments, on devices and programs they have never used. Some students with special needs have found this transition very difficult. In addition, a couple of students have lost loved ones, due to covid-19.

My class of culturally and academically diverse learners deserve a celebration of their hard work and knowledge that we miss and love them.

We would love to send them some fun items to celebrate their graduation to first grade. Normally we would have a big assembly with parents, teachers and students. With your help we can provide them with a diploma, treats, and a gift.

My Project

My students have worked hard to be kind, creative and independent. They are so excited to be reading, writing and learning math on their own. They are ready for first grade! Now, we have the opportunity to give them a celebration they will never forget.

This project will provide me with the tools I need to make the ultimate graduation celebratory gift!

I can just imagine the look on my students' faces when they receive a fun, decorated box filled with a diploma, graduation cap and a book signed by their teachers!
