My Project

The items in my cart are to help the students in kindergarten to learn their letters and sounds. They will also use the materials to build words. We will use the white boards to form letters and words. We will use the stampers to make words out of dough.

The dot paint is used to trace letters and numbers.

The white boards will also be used to learn how to write numbers. We will use the dot paint to stamp out numbers. Also to count dots on the paper to show how many.
