My Project

Some things just make the teacher's and the student's life easier in the classroom. I would love for my students to have those special things that schools just don't have money to get for the classroom.

I need my kindergarten students to become independent during station time so that I can work with small groups and provide the best instruction to all students.

Having buttons that I can record my directions on for stations would be a great help for independence. Tabletop pocket charts and an electric crayon sharpener would be very helpful during literacy and math stations.

Please help me provide the best environment to foster independence in these young students.
