My Project

With these primary journals, markers, and pencils I will focus on helping to develop my students’ basic writing skills. These supplies will also will help with the overall culture of the classroom. Writing, or lacks there of, is becoming more and more of an issue. Please help me close to begin to close the gaps starting with these kindergarten babies. While not all the materials on the list will be used to help them write, most of them will. The beanbag chair, magnet tiles, and fidgets are other everyday classroom materials. Kindergarten is so very important, and these babies need the best start in their educational career.
