My Students

I want to provide my students with hands-on learning puzzles and games!

My students come from a wide range of backgrounds.

Some come to school with vast experiences and background knowledge, while others have had very limited educational experiences before entering kindergarten, and are unprepared for the high expectations of students entering school. However, all of these students are what makes my job the best job in the world! These little ones come to school excited and ready to learn!

My Project

I have requested Word Building Blocks, Phonics Stamps, Blends & Diagraph Puzzles, and for math: Addition Puzzles, Jumbo Double Dice, a class set of Ten Frames, Twist & Learn Numbers, and games that will allow my students to learn through play. These hands-on resources will give my students an opportunity to learn through play while developing their motor and spatial skills, creative problem solving skills, language, and social skills. The math and reading games and activities will provide opportunities for differentiated learning. Many are self-correcting so that students can work independently and at their own pace in a fun and exciting way. Students will learn and practice the curriculum standards through play, while not even realizing that they are learning in the process!

This project will promote a learning environment that is developmentally appropriate for students, while giving them opportunities to learn through play activities throughout the school day.

Many students find the academic portion of school to be boring and the high demands of today's curriculum standards can sometimes take precedence which can cause students to dread going to school. With a little more play, my students will be begging to come to school each day!
