My Project

My Kindergarten students will be learning to put sounds, letters, words, and sentences together to read and create stories. By providing more opportunities to build and expand their imaginations in our Story and Block Play Stations, we will be instilling an excitement and love of reading and learning that will become the foundation for future academic success. A listening station will provide stories for listening and reading practice. The puppets and small theatre will help them to reenact stories and to create new ones. Block play accessories will provide opportunities to expand imaginations through dramatic play.

Children learn best through play.

Thanks to your generous donations, these students will have the opportunity to explore and expand on standard based learning in the most developmentally appropriate and natural way!
