My Project

This project will provide essential supplies to help young learners develop the skills they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. As they get ready for their big transition, these supplies will focus on building key foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social development.

The materials included in this project—summer bridge books—will support early learners in building their reading, writing, and math skills, which are crucial for their first school experience.

Fine motor skills tools like scissors, coloring supplies, and lacing cards will help children develop the hand-eye coordination necessary for tasks like writing and drawing.

By providing these supplies, we are ensuring that each child will start kindergarten with the confidence and abilities needed to thrive in their new academic journey. With the right support over the summer, these little learners will be prepared to engage, explore, and grow throughout the school year!"
