My Project

Kindergarten is such an incredible age! They are soaking up so much and learning many new things! These games will help tremendously to engage my students in different phonics and reading skills. They will be great to use in small groups! The organization tools will be perfect to help my classroom flow in a smooth way which helps the kids have a good learning environment. My goal for this project is to help benefit my students for years to come in my classroom with your help in donating to this project! Any donations will be greatly appreciated and will be used everyday by students in the classroom.
