My Project

The materials I have requested, are activities and manipulatives I can use in small group instruction and literacy centers. Students in kindergarten love to use hands-on activities. These supplies will give my students the opportunities to build phonemic awareness by making letter/sound connections. These materials align with the Science of Reading.

I have a very eager group of students.

They come to school each day excited about learning something new. As their teacher, I love to give my students varied ways to achieve learning goals. All of these materials requested will help give them exciting and beneficial learning experiences.
