My Students

I teach Kindergarten at a diverse, Title 1 school in southwest Florida. Sixty-one percent of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The student population consist of numerous cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our school community works hard to ensure our students reach their potential.

My Kindergarten students love learning to read and experience learning with their peers.

They love to move while learning and engaging in a wide variety of activities. Their excited expressions and enthusiasm for learning with peers help them explore and try new skills.

My Project

My Kindergarten students love to interact with their peers and have fun learning together. After literacy center work, they have the opportunity to select an activity to play with a friend. My students have varying abilities, but they learn well from each other. Most of my students have exceeded the learning level of my present activities so I want to engage them in some new, challenging opportunities and expand upon their learning.

These materials will offer my students novel exciting games to further interest in learning while providing support for the building blocks for reading.

For example, the Pop and Match Sound games afford students to pop a letter and use their letter sounds to make new words and sound them out. The element of surprise and the sound practice builds fluency with their reading of words. Kindergarten students love to move and interact with colorful engaging materials. The fishing for sight words game is a fun avenue for movement coordination skills and quick word recognition skills to build fluency in reading books. Word families games assist students in substituting letters and sounds to visually recognize similarities in words and how they belong together. These materials provide the repetition and practice students need to build foundational skills. They also learn to cooperate with each other, share and take turns, and problem solve. These are important life long learning skills.
