My Project

I am making the plunge to go to the even littler learners. These items are needed to make their learning space neat and organized. Along with items they can use to better learn and a few stories to read about it, being our first days in Kindergarten.

When students are more engaged, they are less disruptive.

They can move and use multisensory learning opportunities; it helps the learning stick. I have included phonics and reading tools. Moving tokens while learning to sound out words is more fun and a multisensory learning experience. The plastic phones are for reading fluency, and hearing themselves read is also a positive experience.

My kindergarteners need an environment that caters to their learning experience. It needs to have items that will push their learning further and give them an area free to learn that is organized.
