My Project

My kindergarten students have been working so hard that they’ve worn down some of their essentials and furniture! Their dedication to learning has taken a toll on some key classroom items, and we’re in need of a few replacements to keep our space functional and engaging.

Small stools for the small group table – The legs on our current stools have become worn and wobbly from daily use, making them less stable for my little learners.

New headphones– The cords on our existing headphones have shorted out, and students can no longer hear their computers properly, which impacts their ability to engage in digital learning activities.

Teacher toolbox – Having an organized space for small group materials like dry-erase markers, erasers, glue sticks, and other essentials would help streamline instruction and ensure that everything is easily accessible.

These items would make a huge difference in our classroom and help keep my students focused and ready to learn!
