Kindergarten Readers and Writers Unleashed!
Funded Oct 28, 2022I want to share my excitement about our new resources!! The first time my students used the lined whiteboards was such an exciting moment. Before we had these, we were only using lined paper and whiteboards without the lines. And when we would need to write sentences on our boards, the kids would need to draw lines or try to write straight, which is hard for Kindergarten. So when they used the lined whiteboards, it was a more pleasant experience and the kids were thankful to have them.
I opened all of the boxes of the resources in front of my students and I'm happy I did. They sat anxiously waiting as I opened each box. They cheered and clapped when they saw the resources, especially the matching llamas and alligators! I remember one of my students shouting, "We're so lucky!"
Now that my students have mastered their letter names and sounds, we are really focusing on reading and writing simple sentences. The kiddos are working hard to sound out 3-letter words in the stories that they read. I have seen a tremendous amount of growth in my classroom's ability to write neatly and begin to write complete sentences. By the end of this school year, I am confident that my students will be able to write 2-3 complete sentences. Thank you once again for the impact you have made on my Kinder students.”
