My Project

My kindergarten students are in the beginning stage of learning to read. It is in this first year students learn and apply their letter sound knowledge to begin reading and writing. The decodable books will allow my students to apply their blending skills. The sentence building activities allow with the paper and crayons will allow my students to create and illustrate their own stories. Please partner with me in providing my kindergarten students will hands on engaging activities to foster and develop a true love for learning, which will set them up for the rest of their learning career and really life.
