My Project

Everyone knows the importance of learning with your mind and body! When fun and learning combine, it makes for deeper connections and increases understanding of concepts. Every student can benefit from this, especially busy five and six-year-old kindergarteners! Help me give my students a way to be hands-on learners in Kindergarten!

I am looking for a way to engage students in learning to rhyme, read, and relate to stories!

I have selected games and sensory activities that students will absolutely love! They love to use stamps and other sensory tools already, and I would love to add more to keep learning exciting! These tools will allow my students to grow in their language development and emerging reading skills.
