My Students

My students are creative, caring, and very energetic. Our classroom is a hands-on learning community. I work with children that are 4 and 5 years-old. Their ability to love learning excites me to find new and exciting ways to teach things to them. They love to learn about new things. They love to look about pictures and talk about them. They love to look and ask many questions about things they have seen on the playground. Our school is a preschool-third grade building and is part of one of the largest urban school districts in my state. All of the students attending in our district receive free lunch and are living at or below the poverty line.

My Project

My students need to be able to recognize and name the letters of the alphabet. They also need to be able to identify the letter sound. This skill is included in Ohio's Early Learning Standards and is important for Kindergarten readiness.

My goal is to provide fun, hands-on and engaging ways to teach my students to make these letter-sound connections and to build upon their pre-reading skills in preparation for Kindergarten.

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning by providing a variety of ways for them to identify the letters of the alphabet, as well as the sounds associated to each letter. I plan to use all of these materials during small and/or large group instruction to help my students build their knowledge of the alphabet.

As my students become more familiar with these materials, they will be placed throughout various learning centers (toys and game, writing, discovery) in our classroom for independent practice.
