My Project

I have chosen a selection of books, special writing tools, math manipulatives and basic supplies for my students to thrive in kindergarten this year. I love watching my students learn and thrive in a variety of ways and many of the items I've requested for this project will allow for this. I am thrilled to meet my new students and to have all the supplies on my list to be fulfilled. Reading alphabet books and inclusion based books will expand their knowledge and love for books. Clipboards and math tools will support their learning in new ways. I can't wait to see how these tools benefit my students this year!
