My Project

It’s a new school year. How exciting! This year is going to be full of fun, learning, building relationships, high expectations, and excellence.

The resources in this project is going to help my Kindergarten Kiddos start the school year off on a great foot.

These resources are going to be used to practice and improve their writing skills. Some of these materials will be sent home so scholars can continue to practice their skills when at home. The index cards will be used to create flash cards to practice letters and sight words. The name badges will be used to introduce each scholar, celebrate their names, and foster positive class discussions.

It would be so helpful to families if they could receive these resources on the first day of school to get this school year off to a great start!
