My Project

My Kindergarten students are hard workers. They strive to put their best foot forward in all of their classwork and all that they do. They have made strides in alphabet recognition, phonemic awareness, and letter sounds.

Now they are ready to move to the next level by reading decodable books.

Now they are ready to read, read, read! These resources will help my students improve their literacy skills, comprehension skills, and communication skills.

Some of these resources will be very helpful for my scholars to use when they display and create SEL projects. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a key part of what we do in Kindergarten this year. Our SEL lessons have helped my scholars to take risks, set goals, and foster a positive community in our classroom this year. These resources will help my student to continue to flourish, continue to build community, and prepare them for First Grade learning.
