My Project

My 4K students are curious about the world around them! They are eager learners and love to explore all the materials we have in the classroom. Everything is a new adventure and their creativity can often lead to big messes that are challenging for them to clean up!

My students need storage containers for classroom materials to learn responsibility, organization, and independence!

I would like to provide opportunities for my students to be more responsible and independent in their work, play, and in cleaning up. We need a few laundry baskets and lots of storage bins with lids! The laundry baskets will hold our big books in our library center. This will provide a way for the books to be organized and give students easier access to read the theme big books independently. Having storage bins for materials in our learning centers that have a picture label will help the children to choose their own materials for work and play. Students build confidence in themselves when they can make independent choices in their learning. The labeled bins will also help them to sort and organize manipulatives more easily during clean up! This age appropriate responsibility helps them to learn how to follow directions, to build life skills, cooperation and positive self-esteem from a job well done! All good things for young children to develop.

I love my 4K friends! I know the importance of teaching them life skills, responsibility and independence for success in school and life! My students are so sweet; they relish chances to be helpful and do things on their own. Thank you for your generous support for my project and for early education!
