My Project

The classroom materials that I have requested will help my Pre-K students by giving them effective learning choices and an enriching first school experience. The dry-erase markers and erasers will support them with writing and their other fine motor skills. These will be extremely beneficial for some students as they navigate handwriting. The number line and tens frame are tools that will prepare them for using strategies in math to support them with Kindergarten readiness. The comfy library seating will allow for additional comfortable seating options.

Thank you for ALL of your help!
