My Project

I work in a kindergarten classroom with a diverse population; not only in our backgrounds, but also in our needs. We have big hearts, we love to play and explore the world around us, and school is a place where we feel safe and loved. I'm requesting some specific classroom items such as a rug and bean bag chairs to make our room more inviting and cozy. I'm requesting materials such as expo markers and erasers so our work doesn't have to constantly be completed on paper. And I'm requesting play items such as a vet kit and dress up clothes. I requested these items specifically so students have more opportunities for imaginative play. Since the pandemic, kindergarten students have come to school so impacted; struggling with social emotional regulation, coping skills, and basic peer skills. Encouraging them to play with different materials helps with a lot of these skills and allows students to access these skills with support in a space where they feel comfortable.
