My Students

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." ~Dr. Seuss. I would like the opportunity to instill the importance and the enjoyment of reading to my eager young kindergarten students.

"It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how." ~Dr. Seuss.

My readers love to participate in reading leaning centers. We are in need of additional resources to make the most of our learning time. My eager kindergarteners display their love for learning daily. My students come from many different backgrounds. Our school is a diverse community of learners. Students come from different areas of the city. Classes are ethnically, economically, and academically diverse. Despite their differences students share a common enthusiasm to learn and participate during our literacy time and reach their individual potential.

My Project

My Project: The resources I am requesting will help me better implement literacy centers in our classroom. My students are so eager and ready to learn, your contribution will help their learning be even more enjoyable. Centers allow for an increased amount of differentiated instruction. Many of the materials I would like will help my students prepare to become life long readers. It is so important to instill a love of reading at an early age. These materials will help my students flourish and gain confidence. Phonemic awareness and phonics are so crucial in kindergarten, the alphabet fishing centers, tactile letters, and many of the other resources I'm requesting will help students master this. The tactile sight words will help my students learn words that can not be decoded. As the year progresses the CVC word center as well as other materials will help students sound out and build words.

Your donation will help me instill a love of learning for my kindergarten students.

It will help me in implementing fun yet educational learning centers. Your donation will help my students sharpen their skills, focus for longer periods of time, and enjoy learning.
