Kindergarten is a place where imaginations run wild! It is a time when children are entering school for the first time. They are expected to learn their alphabet, letter sounds and become emergent readers. In my classroom I value student choice and empowerment. I encourage an atmosphere where students have the opportunity to practice skills independently that may have been introduced through direct instruction first. The Big Book wipe & write will serve many different purposes. It is a big book stand where students can independently re-read texts. It is an area where they can practice sight words or build words with magnetic letters. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1,CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.A, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.B ,CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.C, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.D) Many of our students have not had the opportunity to socially engage with their peers during the pandemic. Young children love puppets and books. Our state standards require students to participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.K.1.A) The puppets intended to be used by students to build these social skills intentionally. Puppets allow students a safe space and opportunity to retell stories or interact with their peers around a variety of topics. They can practice listen to each other and taking turns. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.K.1.B) These are life skills that we are laying the foundation for in Kindergarten.
