My Project
Starting school is an exciting time for young learners as they begin to explore the world of letters, numbers, and everyday tools like the fridge. This introduction lays the foundation for reading, writing, and math skills that will help them throughout their education. Learning the alphabet helps children recognize letters, understand their sounds, and start forming simple words. At the same time, getting familiar with numbers teaches them how to count, sort, and recognize patterns. Using the fridge at school or home can become part of their learning, like finding letters and numbers on magnets or using it to display their work and daily schedules. Through fun activities, songs, and hands-on practice, students build confidence and curiosity as they take their first steps in learning.
