My school is part of a merging program with two elementary schools; we are located in a suburban area with children some coming from low income families. I have 19 eager Kindergarten students who are ready to learn new things! A chunk of my class this year comes from low income families. Despite that, they always have a smile on their face and they try their best. I have many struggling students who lack home support. I have the majority of my students who are not able to read and write yet and quite a few who can not spell and recognize their name still, let alone hold a pencil. In addition I have a couple students who are from other countries and are coming to school no little to no English at all. I have found one way students learn best is through whole body learning and listening. I am trying to create listening centers and word work centers where students will be able to tactilely be able to create words spell their names and build sight words and fluency through different digital resources on the iPod and through building fine motor skills to help them be able to start forming letters using legos to help reinforce the grip needed for writing and creating letters. If students are able to touch and feel letters in a tactile way they will be able to hear, feel and write words and sight words they will be able to retain much better than just one way of learning their letters, words and sight words.
