My Project

My kinder students are always curious and want their own comfortable sitting area to have fun while learning reading. My students love colorful printed materials like posters, flash cards and other reading materials that are displayed in pocket charts which can be easily seen and catches their interest to learn. Also reading materials such as word building and puzzles are more fun and engaging to students to develop their own knowledge and independence through hands-on activities.

Creating a reading corner that is appealing, cozy and comfortable where students can comfortably sit and even lie down to enjoy reading is just one the thing I want to provide my students.

Adding some engaging reading tools and colorful printed materials with a color printer are also essential to students to develop their interest and love in reading.

My students also enjoy having snacks while learning, it gives them more energy and motivates them to do better in reading. Rewarding them with delightful snacks is way more fun too!
