My Project

My students love to learn, but they specifically love to learn through play! My students are five and six-year-olds who are still babies, but they are Kindergartners. Some of them are getting their first experience in structure and routines. They want to play but understand they have to come to school to learn.

These supplies will add some enjoyment while they are still learning.

They will look forward to going to centers to learn to read with these phonics games. They will bring math alive with fun math games. I want to put some fun and enjoyment in their day by giving them these tools that will add excitement while they are learning.
