My Project

My kindergarteners love to come to school. They look forward to the day's activities, and they love to learn. I am requesting a set of magnetic alphabet word work trays and pop its. My students will be able to practice spelling and alphabet with these materials. The kinesthetic experience of reading and spelling is helpful for some learners. These types of hands-on activities are great for my English language learners and newcomers during designated English language development time.

Engaging, hands-on lessons are critical for kindergarteners.

I would like to motivate my students to learn by using engaging materials. I can't wait to see their faces when they see all of these new materials. This will be so fun for my students. Thank you for your support!
