My students need word building tiles, magnetic letters, stamps, and other classroom supplies to help encourage alphabet recognition, writing skills and math skills.
Each day is full of learning new skills, reading strategies, socialization, and independence. With such ownership come feelings of excitement, pride, responsibility, and the confidence to take safe risks as learners.
My students are a group of kindergarten students (5-6 years old) with so much enthusiasm and excitement as they walk in the first day.
For some kids, this is their first time away from home, but I welcome them in and we become a family. We learn together through reading, math, science, social studies, the arts, and the study of a new language (Spanish). Each child is valued and has much to share and much to learn!
My Project
The students will have the opportunity to manipulate magnetic letters and stamps to learn their letters and how to sound out words. They will also be able to work with beginning, middle and ending sounds in workstations as well with me in small group time. When we journal they can use their spacer to help them understand that a sentence is comprised of words that need to be separated with spaces. This is going to make it easier to work in small groups with a new table top easel and a big timer that will help the students (and myself) to stay on task.
