Kindergarten is such a formative age where my students will be learning their letter sounds and number recognition. All students prefer to play and with these activities, they can do both. As we learn new content, students will have the opportunity to have hands-on experiences with these materials. The Classroom Magnetic Letters Kit will allow for me to have individual sets of magnetic letters for students to use during small groups and centers. This will help students to build their skills with letter identification/recognition as well as to build new words they are learning. As we dig deeper into science and learn about the life cycle of different animals having the Life Cycle Sequencing Kit will bring the lesson to the next level for the students. They will not only be able to see the cycle in pictures and books but they will also be able to have hands-on experience with the sequencing Kit.
