My Project

Help me insure that our scholars are motivated as they transition from kindergarten to first grade.

The cardstock will be used during independent center work as well as welcome back to school projects, spring and summer break packets with common core standard activities to assist with maintaining children's reading levels.

The bookbag wll be used store the health needs of the scholars as well as the notebook containing emergency contacts and change of clothing while on field trips that align with commom core standards.

Every scholar comes to the classroom with a plethora of world experiences. In order to be successful readers, scholars need to relate what they read to what they experience. Socio-emotional growth is also increased. I love watching the scholars share their experiences will help to enhance the print rich classroom that I strive to create.
