My Project

My students review letters and the sounds they represent at the beginning of the school year after learning them in kindergarten. The activities in this project will be used as students review this skill in preparation for beginning reading.

Time to work independently on tasks and review skills learned during whole group instruction is essential for beginning readers.

The items in this project will provide my students with this opportunity. The games will be used during skills rotations for hands-on experiences and the doorbell will be used to signal the end of their work time. Thank you so much for your support of our classroom!
