My Project

My classroom is comprised of wonderful pre-kindergarten students in a multi-age and blended classroom setting. They come to school eager to explore, learn, and have fun!

My goal has always been to ensure my students have effective multisensory learning experiences in our classroom community.

The phoneme phones I am requesting for this project will be used to heighten the children's listening experience as they speak softly into the receiver and hear their voice directed into their ear. I plan to use the phoneme phones as a learning tool as students explore letter sounds, practice phonics, oral retelling of stories, and even as a phone for the dramatic play area!

The letter tracing tiles I am requesting for this project will enable children to use the light table we currently have in the classroom for Literacy. The children will be able to form uppercase and lowercase letters to practice printing and recognizing letters, an essential pre-reading skill!

Thank you so much for your support!
