My Students

My kindergarten students are extremely eager to learn after a year and a half of being at home, they enjoy coming to school to learn and engage with their peers daily. I love to see them in the mornings, coming in and asking "what are we going to learn today." Their little brains are thirsty for knowledge and they are curious about everything. Their thirst to learn pushes me to be a better teacher and making sure that I do all that I can to prepare them for the years to come.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students are things that we will use daily. These items willl help to make sure that each day runs smoothly. The magnet letters will help them to learn their letter sounds while also teaching them how to build words. The magnetic foldwer bins will help to make sure that I am organized every day and allows the days to run smoothly so that I am not wasting time searching for items, they will be right on the board. ( Our time together is limited so I must make sure I maximize our time together. The reusable write and wipe pockets will allow me to cut down on using paper but still allows students to practice writing while saving trees. The supplies I am requesting is to help my students and to make sure they have all the need to succeed this school year The organizational crates will be used to organize our daily small groups. The laminating pouches and cardstock paper will allow me to make quilty centers and even laminate activities that we can use all year while saving on paper. With majority of my students living in a low-income household they are not always able to provide snacks everyday. Having snacks on hand will help me to refuel them because no can concentrate on an empty stomach. The donations to this project will be used daily and help me as a teacher provide my kiddos with all they need to take on the day and succeed.
