My Students

My students are hungry to learn. They can't seem to get enough materials to learn from. They love looking at and describing pictures, telling me what objects are, and working with sounds. We are very excited about learning and talking about learning.

My students are four and five years old.

They all come from different backgrounds with different experiences. They are excited to learn and talk to each other. They love technology and they love to share what they are thinking. My school supports phonemic awareness, pre-reading skills, science exploration through EcoLand, math readiness, and fine motor skills. We are very active in supporting each and all teachers and support staff in helping the needs of all students. My students need support in all areas of learning.

My Project

My students will use the picture cards, flip books and alphabet sound tubs in large groups, small groups and in station time. We will talk about items that start with certain sounds, discuss pictures, and sort objects, too. We will increase our vocabulary, alliteration, and phonemic awareness. We will increase words in a sentence by using our flash cards. We need objects that we can see and touch and talk about them.

This will increase my students vocabulary.

We will increase our reading readiness for kindergarten. My students love doing kindergarten work and this will be kindergarten work for them. My students can use their new knowledge to have a background for reading and writing as they get older in school. My students will learn more and more through these items.
