How exciting would it be for my scholars to have rigorous activities to increase their learning abilities? As a teacher at a Title I low-income school, I educate students who receive free or reduced-price lunch.
My kindergarten classroom is a nurturing class, where students feel safe and comfortable.
Kindergarten is a vital year for my students, being their first experience with education. My students come to school daily, curious to learn and explore new things. Often, my scholars are nervous about reading because of the fear of saying the wrong thing. With these engaging supplies, my scholars, our future, will build their confidence and literacy skills for reading.
My Project
My scholars love exploring the alphabets and their sounds. The Alphabet Sounds Teaching Tubs will allow my scholars to use hands-on materials to associate the letters with their correct sounds. The different miniature items in the tubs will help expand vocabulary and understanding of initial sounds and associate those sounds with the letter. The organized tubs will allow my scholars to focus on one letter at a time or to compare multiple letters. This will also help my ESL scholars have exposure to real world objects. The counting scoops with help my scholars with one to one correspondence.
