My Students

My students are the future of our world! They are bright, inspiring, and eager to learn! Let's teach them well and let them lead the way! Since everything you need to learn you learn in Kindergarten there is no better place to start than now.

My Project

I am super excited about my project to benefit my new Kindergarten class and hopefully many kids in years ahead! As background, my classroom always had five tables and that's just how Kindergarten was! When the pandemic happened, for the first time ever I had desks in my classroom! This allowed the children to sit further apart. But who knew how much better desks would be for the children at this young age! It truly made a difference for them and had so many positive effects! With many children remote last year I was able to use desks that would otherwise have be in upper grade rooms and this year I am now left with a mix of old desks and tables. Please help me fund this project so I can get my Kindergartener's new desks!

Having desks and an organized classroom will help my students in so many ways!

1. My students will have their own space and learning area!

2. My students will stay more organized!

3. My students will have better concentration and less distraction!

4. My students will be inspired to figure things out on their own!

5. My students will be enabled to learn new skills!

6. My students will feel responsible for their desk and a sense of pride and ownership will be the outcome!

Thank you in advance for your support! It is greatly appreciated!
