My Project

My students are in the beginning stages of learning to write, and having a variety of different writing materials helps keep them engaged in the learning process. We use white boards and Expo markers almost daily, so I selected plenty of those materials to keep us going. I also chose highlighters, regular markers, and permanent markers for writing purposes as well. My goal is to have my students writing sentences before going on to first grade!

Kindergarteners benefit by having stuff in hand while they are learning and practicing newly learned skills.

It creates more focus on what we are doing and helps create connection from their hands to their minds. The Alphabet Treasure Chests, Alphabots, Stamp Markers, and Educational Plant Growing kit are a few ways I want to bring in new hands on learning opportunities.

We will use the treasure boxes for upper/lowercase letter matching as well as beginning sound practice. The Alphabots can be used to sequence letters, find letters, spell CVC words, and practice letter identification. The stamps will be integrated into math lessons so that students can represent numbers and then manipulate their numbers by comparing, composing and decomposing them.

The tissues, Band-aids, Lysol wipes, stapler, tape dispenser, magnet hooks, hanging files, and files are items that would help the classroom run more smoothly.

We are a classroom in OKC that is full of 5- and 6-year-old boys and girls who enjoy learning in new ways. Let's make the end of the year a fun hands-on educational experience!
