My Project

My kindergarteners are curious and always wanting to learn more, especially when it comes to playing with science inspired things like puzzles. They love to build and explore during our free time each afternoon. Currently we have 2 puzzles because the other 2 fell apart.

Please help my 21 littles get even more excited about coming to school.

These kiddos come from a low income background. Many don't have a lot of experiences like educational toys to grow their minds and curiosity. It is so fun to watch them figure things out and want to know more as we go about our day! The storage containers will help us store our new items. The Teachers Pay Teachers card will allow me to supplement our lessons. One way I will do this is by purchasing morning message slides. I was able to purchase the December ones on my own. They are a huge hit! My students are excited to use them because they are interactive. Students come to the board and help with the work. They are colorful and include a daily skill such as patterning, letters, numbers, etc. Even my shyest learners feel successful at coming to the board to mark answers. I consider that a big win!
