My Project

Looking ahead to the beginning of next school year, I want to make sure my PK students have access to fun activities to get them excited to learn letters. A precursor to students recognizing letters is shape identification. I am looking forward to including more activities with magnets next school year and think my students would enjoy exploring with the magnet shapes. One of my favorite items in the order are the giant letter beads. The letter beads provide a great fine motor activity in in addition to letter identification and recognition.
