My Project

Math - Students will be taught standards in math by using these resources manipulatives and whiteboards to discover how to efficiently count from 1 - 10. Without this basic math knowledge, students will not be able to count or identify numbers.

Literacy - Students will use the basic readers to get familiar with understanding what a book is, what is inside the book, and the knowledge that we can gain from the words and stories inside of it.

Students will be able to hear and follow along what is being read. Here we can build vocabulary and imagination.

All of my students will benefit from this project by using these resources in order to become more independent and knowledgeable individuals that will be on their way to success in Kindergarten.

We can also bridge the two areas together as we describe a number in a story. Students will be able to describe in better detail.
