My Students

Excited! Curious! Intelligent! These are just some of the words that I would use to describe the kindergarten students at our school! They come to school each day ready to learn and experience school as a community of learners that work hard together!

My Project

Students are ready to learn and have a wonderful kindergarten experience. Supplying students with seat pockets will give them the best chance to keep their belongings organized. They will be able to have everything they need for their learning close by and be prepared for learning each day.

Students need to feel comfortable in their classroom.

Having nice carpet squares to sit on will make their time together that much more comfortable. Students are able to learn better and practice safe social distancing with their carpet squares.

Children love to have colorful and inviting classrooms. These seat pockets and carpet squares will help create a wonderful atmosphere for learning in the classroom.
