My Project

Every year when teachers get a new class they get to know them and try to figure out how to personalize their educations. This year my class has different needs than the last.

My Kindergartners this year want play and sensory experiences!

We will use the finger puppets and pointers as a way to engage them in fiction and non fiction reading by playing to their interests of dramatic play. They can act out books or pretend to be teachers in order to motivate them to become readers!

My students are also seeking sensory input, and this kinetic sand and playdoh will add to our sensory play in our classroom.
