My Project

As a new kindergarten teacher, my main focus will be to create engaging small and whole group instruction on a daily basis. In order to do that, I need some essentials to design a designated area that will capture and engage my little learners. Having a cozy carpet with individualized spaces and seating spots is a must! The classroom rug I’ve selected will do just that! My aim is to captivate and keep my kinders engaged during small and whole group instruction using best practices. I intend to use the mobile magnetic dry erase board and chart paper to create concrete visual examples and tools for my students to access each and every day!
