My Project

I love teaching kindergarten. They are very curious about the world around them. They need a lot of fine motor practice to help them be able to write letters, words, sentences and numbers. So I am asking for several fun fine motor practice activities. They also need to be hands on and so I am asking for magnetic alphabet letters so every child can manipulate and spell words during our phonics lessons. The rods and Unifix cubes are things they can manipulate in math. They also need to practice writing and that is why I am asking for whiteboards. They can write letters, words, sentences, and numbers on them. All the things I am asking for will help my students have better engagement during my lessons.
