My Project

This school year I have many kids who have not been in a school setting before. My students are hard workers, who enjoy coming to school every day. There are so many expectations for kindergarteners and these tools that I am requesting will make it possible!

My kindergarteners are beginning to learn how to read.

These tools will benefit all of my students, by making reading fun! For example, we would be able to use the trackers and the fingers to help us track each word as we read. I would love to get this project funded so my students can learn how to enjoy reading.
