My Project

The work of kindergarten students to become writers requires a lot of fine motor growth.

It is very beneficial for these students to work the muscles in their fingers with Play-Doh to help them better control, their crayons, markers, and pencils.

A lot of learning takes place as the students go from letters, to sounds, to words, to sentences.

Kindergarteners start their journey into writing as illustrators, creating stories with pictures with their crayons. They then add letters depicting sounds and words as they grow in literacy. By the third nine weeks, they are writing sentences. At the end of the year, they’re writing stories with the beginning, a middle, and an end. The paper with primary lines and a space for illustrations is vital to this process.

In order to grow into writers, kindergartners need paper, crayons, and markers so that they can express themselves as they learn. Kindergartners put their own flare of creativity on everything they do.
