My Project

Mastering foundational skills in reading and math is a daily and integral part of Kindergarten. My students learn best with hands-on experiences and entertaining stories with colorful pictures. They are understanding how to set learning goals and follow steps to achieve them.

The donation of leveled readers, sandpaper letters and numbers, markers, dot paints, paper, play dough, phonics games, Connect Four, and other materials will provide my little learners the opportunity to become proficient and master reading and math foundational skills through tactile experiences and exploration.

These materials will help build our leveled library and help create new and exciting math and literacy centers. My little learners will be on their way to reaching their academic goals!
