My Project

With the requested materials, I hope to have play-based center materials for my students to explore and learn with during our independent practice learning time. It is so important for Kindergartners to learn in a developmentally and age appropriate way. I am asking for a wide variety of skill-based activities for students to explore as needed. The sight words CVC word activities will be used in conjunction with our reading and writing learning. The math materials will be used for students to be able to explore in conjunction with our mathematics skills learning. I will explore each activity with my students as a class, teach them how to use the materials appropriately and respectfully, and have them available for their use during independent practice.

Learning should be fun and engaging for all students!

The materials in this project will support students in practicing and learning developmentally appropriate literacy and math skills. These materials will help make learning fun and engaging for the many levels of students in our classroom. I am excited to make learning more engaging and fun for my students. Thank you for your support!
