My Project

Many of my kindergarten students love the arts. They enjoy music, theater, and creating art pieces and drawing to show what they know. When I differentiate the ways they can share and show what they know, their expertise and creative shines through.

These resources will help build creativity, curiosity, and critical thinkers and readers in my classroom.

The decodable books will be used during small group work to build their reading skills and strategy toolbox. The drawing paper, crayons, and markers will be used for students to show what they know through art, drawing, and projects. The sentence strips will be used to teach vocabulary from content areas and kindergarten topics learned throughout the year. If we are able to get these resources, my kindergarten scholars will be able to meet and exceed kindergarten standards and show success this school year. Your help in making this a reality would be ever so appreciated!
