My Project

These games and activities are just what are needed in our kindergarten classroom to help remediate and reteach the foundational skills of counting, number identification, letters, and sounds. These skills are continually needed to review and kids get tired of learning them through straight instruction. These games and centers will allow a fun and engaging way to present and reteach the information to make learning fun with laughter and play.

The enjoyable presentation of the skills will make learning less stressful and more fun for the learners that are struggling with these necessary skills.

Making it a game will help them focus more on the information and hopefully help with retention and comprehension.

My students are so kind and motivated and charismatic and I want to give them the steps and building blocks that will take them to the goals necessary for a very successful start in their academia.
