My Project

These family engagement packs will allow me to offer my parents ways to be involved in our everyday learning. The engagement packs are filled with fun and engaging games that will enable our families to practice the essential skills my little learners need to master before moving on to kindergarten. Each pack comes with everything my families will need to play a language game that practices essential skills such as recognizing rhyming sounds, recognizing and counting syllables, identifying letters, learning beginning sounds, building vocabulary, recognizing opposites, and building simple words.

Parents are such a vital part of learning, and with your help, we can engage the whole family and continue to make learning fun.
