My Project

Kindergarten is all about finding the most creative ways to introduce new concepts to students. In previous years, I learned that when students practice letter formation using classroom tools, it lessens the pressure for perfect writing.

In my classroom, we will use play dough to create letters and numbers for identification mastery and writing formation, clipboards to promote mobile learning throughout the classroom, and pocket organizers to provide a safe and productive learning environment for students to transition to new learning stations.

My goal is provide a rich and diverse learning experience for my kindergarten students.
