My Project

Kindergarten is such a crucial time for our young students. It is very exciting for them to be able to have new supplies that will start off their new school year. Teaching in a inner city school, there are often times that their parents are unable to supply their children with what they will need to start off the school year.

As a kindergarten teacher, I have found that many of our students are unable to get the supplies (pencils, crayons & wipes0 that they will need to start the year.

This can often bring tears to the students who don't have the necessary supplies that they would like have.

I would love to be able to get these young learners everything that they need to make their first Kindergarten experience a happy one.
