My Project

All of the items have been selected to help set up an inviting classroom where each student can take turns with special helper jobs. For example, the files are to help organize construction paper for art projects. The sweeper vacuum will be a hit for the helper to clean up messes.

We start school quite early so we still have hot temperatures so the fan will be a wonderful addition!

In addition, this is the start of my 26th year of teaching kindergarten so all of the posters will help bring new life to the classroom!
