My Project

My kindergarten students are very important to me. knowing that they have the necessary supplies they need to succeed warms my heart. My students work hard daily to be good students and to complete their work. Having additional copy paper available to ensure their lessons are ready for them to practice and show their work is very important to me.

Stem blocks and wooden blocks will allow my students to use their imagination, explore building while using their fine motor skills.

The magnetic blocks will help my students keep there blocks in place while they decide there next move. The wooden blocks will allow students to see and recognize different shapes while building. My students will be able to use there imagination while building, the sky is the limit.

Oh the places you will go, my students love good books. Dr. Suess books play an important role in reading and on Read Across America Week. These books will be great to add to our class library.
