My Students

My students are a group of low income students who thrive on doing their best in school. Kindergarten is their first year in school and an important step into their education career. I want to create an environment for them where they can collaborate and learn and grow from one another.

My students are eager learners with a lot of different personalities.

They come to school ready for new tasks and challenges. They love to talk and make new friends. Flexible seating allows them to make new friends everyday. They love learning and enjoy doing group work activities as much as they can.

My Project

These materials will help my students to build strong foundational skills that will aide in their reading and writing. Students will be able to practice phonemic awareness skills that will eventually help them to become better writers before moving onto 1st grade.

These materials will be used during small group time when students are practicing skills that are targeted directly to their needs.

The whiteboards, alphabet tubes, and magnetic letters are all great tools to help them become successful readers and writers. Students need to start with basic decoding skills that will help them to read and understand how words are made.
