My Project

I am excited to teach kindergarten in my community here in Bronx, NY. I love helping students foster a love for learning. I engage students in interactive read-alouds and also encourage independent book exploration. I am requesting help to purchase the Big Book Book Display/Shelf to support these efforts. My big book selection is currently displayed in a crate which is visually unappealing and not user friendly to 4-5 year old children. I will be able to create a warm a welcoming Big Book Reading Center with the addition of this item.

The puzzles and marble run toys will help engage students during the "Toys" unit of our Expeditionary Learning -EL Literacy Curriculum.

These items will also support students during centers thought the year. Additionally, I have need of the classroom supplies (laminating sheets, lysol wipes, ....) to help me set-up, supply and keep my classroom sanitized. Many parents were not financially able to donate last year. I utilized all of my supplies by years end.

I greatly appreciate help and support.

Thank you.
