My Students

My kindergarten students love to work cooperatively in small groups on letter and number recognition. They need hands-on tactile experiences in order to make meaning of both letters and numbers.

Many of my kindergarten students are struggling to gain an understanding of letters and numbers.

It is my goal for them to not only be able to recognize letters and numbers, but to be engaged in their learning. Kindergarten students learn by touching and manipulating objects. Play-doh is a perfect resource to allow them to have a hand-on experience forming letters and numbers.

My Project

My students will use the play-doh books, molds, and actual play-doh in small group centers designed to engage them in the learning process. The kinesthetic experience will allow them to make meaning of the shapes and gain an understanding of letters and numbers.

Your donations will allow my kindergarten students to experience learning letters and numbers in a fun and engaging way.

Many students need hands-on experiences with letters and numbers before they are able to recognize and make meaning from them. While this may seem like a basic concept, your donations will help struggling students succeed and master letter and number recognition.
