My Project

I am the local reading specialist for our high school. I work with the teachers in grades k-3 to help develop literacy lessons and centers that are student-centered. The kindergarten teacher at my school wants more sensory tools to use in her classroom. We think these boards will be just the right tool to make center time more engaging.

Our kindergarten students love to read and write.

Although they are very energetic, they would love to have a variety of ways to practice writing letters and write new words. Please help us provide some amazing opportunities of learning through sensory tool, sand trays. Thanks so much!
