My Project

Next year will be my first time teaching Kindergarten. Having never taught these littlest learners, my classroom is very much geared toward older, more adept fingers.

To truly explore and grow, kinders need larger writing tools such as tri-shaped pencils and chunky crayons as well as opportunities to explore through play with games that involve building and creativity.

I hope to build my new Kindergarten classroom to cater to these needs and to develop this dexterity and joy in my students.

This project will provide my students with such tools for our academics as chunky crayons and tri-shaped pencils. These will help them form proper writing grips and give them appropriately sized and weighted tools for learning the formation of letters and numerals.

It will also provide such creative, hands-on toys as magnatiles, playdough, blocks, and puppets. These will allow children to create, pretend, and build something new every day.
