My Project

I am a first year teacher that will be teaching kindergarten. Kindergarten serves as a basis for learning how to read, basic math, but also how to learn routines and basic social skills as well. Art supplies were included to also have students to express themselves, and learn to interpret visuals in multiple different ways. This grade serves as a basic for learning to read phonics, so learn to decode and write properly will help them be great readers. These materials will help student success in not only making learning fun, but, making sure by the end of the school year, every student is ready for the first grade!
