My students come to school ready to learn. Having different and engaging materials in the class encourages them to explore. I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. My students attend a small, urban elementary school in a mid-sized city. The majority of kids in the school are eligible for free or reduced priced meals and typically do not have access to a great deal of technology. Aside from the lack of resources, my students have a great enthusiasm for learning.
My Project
With the requested materials, I hope to have play-based center materials for my students to explore and learn with during our independent practice learning time. It is so important for Kindergartners to learn in a developmentally and age appropriate way. I am asking for a wide variety of skill-based activities for students to explore as needed. The sight words CVC word activities will be used in conjunction with our reading and writing learning. The building materials will be used for students to be able to explore their creativity during all of our science units. I will explore each activity with my students as a class, teach them how to use the materials appropriately and respectfully, and have them available for their use during independent practice.
Learning should be fun and engaging for all students!
The materials in this project will support students in practicing and learning developmentally appropriate literacy and math skills. These materials will help make learning fun and engaging for the many levels of students in our classroom. I am excited to make learning more engaging and fun for my students. Thank you for your support!
