My Project

Young children love to learn and what better way than with hands-on, fun material! My kindergarteners crave movement, challenges, and rapid results. They desire a learning environment that promotes self-discovery in math and in early literacy skills. They need reinforcement in their positive choices and quick access to self-correct their errors.

With these supplies the children in my class not only will have items that feed those desires but will also have the opportunity to work along with their classmates.

I too crave all of this for them and search for ways to light that fire of learning in them. Being in the kindergarten world for only a few years means that I am still gathering appropriate materials. The chosen resources will go a long way in fulfilling the wishes of this teacher and these students!
