So Excited to Start Kindergarten!

My Project

I have many families in my district that are not able to send their students with the supplies necessary to start the school year. I am hoping to get this project funded so that everyone in my class next year will be able to start the year off with all of the supplies that they need so that they will be successful in Kindergarten.

I have many students that come to school with very little and they come to my classroom as a safe place.

I want every single one of my students to be excited to come to school and know that they don't need to worry about not having the materials necessary to be successful.

Students will be able to use the pencils I get to practice writing their names. They will be able to use the crayons to help draw their 1st day of school pictures to take home to their families as well. The students will also get to use the markers to color various other first day activities that are done in kindergarten! Some students have a hard time holding a full size pencil so I am asking for some golf pencils so they can use them to help to learn proper pencil grip.
