My students need engaging Lakeshore Learning Centers for Math (Bingo & Partner Games) and Language Arts (Word Patterns and Language Instant Learning Centers).
Chances are when you were a student, you were taught your ABC's and 123s in a whole-class setting where your teacher wrote something on the board and you recreated it at your desk. Today's students are hands-on learners with energy and enthusiasm! They thrive when challenged to work independently.
We are a Kindergarten class at a growing charter school in California.
Our students come from a diverse population and have a number of challenges facing them in their daily lives. Many students receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch, this after having to walk a mile to school or take public transportation. They are the most appreciative bunch of kiddos and would love your support!
My Project
When I tell my class that we are going to have centers on a given day, their faces light up! They love being able to work in small group settings to complete lessons or play games with their classmates. Due to staffing cut-backs, I often do not have an assistant or parent volunteer to help me monitor the centers I offer. Lakeshore Learning Centers provide engaging, developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for my Kindergartners. The Math and Language Arts items I am requesting will be used regularly to teach and practice fundamental skills like phonemic awareness, patterning and sequencing, and perhaps most importantly, life skills and citizenship in working collaboratively. My students need engaging Lakeshore Learning Centers for Math (bingo & partner games) and Language Arts (word patterns & a complete set of language activities).
The students in my class love each and every opportunity they are given to work in a hands-on setting.
We do not always have the appropriate materials to create engaging learning opportunities that align with state standards and the goals of our lessons. These reusable materials will provide my students (now and for years to come) with developmentally appropriate, colorful, and exciting centers that they will undoubtedly look forward to using!
