My Project

As a second year teacher in kindergarten, I have been gradually acquiring or creating math and literacy activities to support student learning during independent work time. But I still need more options. These young learners are curious and love exploring new centers as I try to switch them out every so often. However, there is only so much time and energy in the week to spend creating new resources. I am requesting Alphabet Learning Locks and Keys, Magnetic Color and Number Maze, C-Clips Hooks Plastic Chain Links, Double Sided Magnetic Letter Board, Slide Puzzle Color & Shape Matching Brain Teasers and more.

The beginning of the year my students need a lot of opportunities to build their fine motor skills, as well as beginning skills such as letter sounds and formation, and numbers and counting.

These Montessori style options will benefit all of my students throughout the school year.
