My Project

For the last 5 years I have been a middle school and upper elementary teacher, but I am excited to go down to kindergarten.

With this change, comes huge favors to ask.

I am asking for help in furnishing my classroom in an organized way. I would love to be able to have a classroom rug, bookshelf for the students to utilize, stem bin and toy organization, etc.

Students will be able to gather daily on the carpet door while group times. The bookshelves will be in the classroom library so students can choose the books they want to view/read. Students will have access to the toy organizers to help keep things organized, so they can see all of the toys and choose the ones they’d like to play with.

I want my students to feel welcomed and know where things are when they come into my classroom.

Thank you for your generosity for my students and myself - we really couldn't do it without you!
