My Project

My kindergarten students are an amazing group of 5-6 year old boys and girls who love to come to school each day and learn new things. Books are extremely important so that students can learn to read this school year and prepare for the first grade. Books that will help them with digraphs, blends, vowel sounds (long and short), etc. We also can use construction paper, borders, pens, glue sticks, and some more to help learning happen throughout the rest of the school year and beyond. Thank you so much!
