My Project

Hi! I'm a new kindergarten teacher, and so far I am loving it! But the cost of an engaging classroom with 25 children can be difficult all by myself.

I have requested a few items that would be super helpful to the class.

Making it more engaging and creative with books, construction paper, and two-color counters will lead my students to continue to thrive and enjoy learning. That is my main goal, to keep students engaged and have the desire to continue learning no matter what stage of development they are at. I thank you in advance.
