Having Fun in Kindergarten

Help me give my students more variety of activities for their morning tubs, and books for our Friday read aloud with a project.

My Project

My kindergarteners have such big imaginations. We start off every morning with morning tubs. These materials let the students use their imagination and explore with building materials. The students get to be so creative as they build. This time also allows for their social skills and communication skills to be put into practice.

I also like to do a fun craft or project each Friday with my students.

I like to tie it to literacy so I find a book that goes with the project we are doing. My students have loved being able to have their art displayed in the hall and our class.
