My students need learning materials help start the new school year. We need literacy and math games, headphones, and a headphone splitter to finish our literacy center.
Kindergartners need fun and engaging activities to explore letter sounds and make connections to the alphabet. Learning the alphabet and the letter sounds is critical because it is the first step in learning how to read!
My school is located in a very small town and we are a Title One school.
I have the privilege of providing my students with their first school experience. I want to make it an interesting and engaging experience for every one of my students. All of my students have a strong desire to learn. My students are constantly teaching each other. They are like little sponges that are ready to soak up all the information that is given to them. Having these learning materials will optimize their learning experience.
My Project
I am requesting two literacy games that my students can play during daily 5/literacy centers. The games are " Pop for Letters" and "Pop for Sight Words." These games will help my students work on their letter recognition, sounds, and kindergarten sight words. These games will keep my students engaged while learning and having fun at the same time. I am also requesting a math puzzle to help my struggling students in counting and finding the number that matches the set. This will be a hands-on experience for my students.
Recently, I have received an iPod from Donors Choose that will be used in my listening center. For my students to be able to use the listening center we need headphones and a headphone splitter so more than one person can enjoy listening to books.
Helping students develop a passion for reading and math starting at an early age is the best gift that we as educators can give.
In order to motivate my students at a developmentally-appropriate level, I find that these letter/sight word games, math puzzle, and headphones will provide the concrete experience for students to be engaged and have fun learning!
