Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In the world of kindergarten, the easel stands as the central hub of learning. This essential tool holds a trove of valuable resources crucial for whole-group instruction. From dry-erase markers to big books and magnetic manipulatives, the easel serves as a versatile platform. It functions as a sturdy stand for displaying big books, anchor charts, and as a whiteboard for teacher-led lessons and student involvement.

An easel is truly indispensable in the kindergarten setting.

It fosters proximity among students, keeping them actively engaged throughout lessons. Its multi-faceted utility extends across various activities throughout the day. Whether reading big books, collectively crafting stories on chart paper, or using manipulatives to explore math concepts, the easel serves as a pivotal tool. Additionally, it facilitates independent center work, enhancing student learning experiences. Incorporating tabletop easels is essential to enhance the interactive nature of small group teaching.

By donating to our kindergarten classroom, you are directly contributing to the educational journey of our young learners. Your support will enable them to benefit immensely from this invaluable resource, aiding in their foundational steps into education.
