My Project

These materials will be used specifically for students to have a warm, cozy place to Read. In Kindergarten students are beginning to learn word recognition, phonics and letter sounds. Having a nice comforting place for students to sit while they explore these books are essential. At a young age students learn to either love or be uncomfortable with Reading. With these materials it will help make it a loving and cozy environment for Students to explore. It will help make Reading that fun rotation of the day where they can relax on the rug or, in the scoop chairs while Reading. I will be using these materials for our Reading rotations, where students will be rotating around the room to different activities. This will be very beneficial to start healthy Reading and exploration!
