My Project

For many of my students, this year is their first school experience, so many of them are working really hard to learn alphabet from scratch. They are working very hard each day!

They are very enthusiastic about learning letters!

So, I would like to provide them with ample opportunity to engage in letter recognition activities while they are having fun, but we are lacking materials. Single line write & wipe board will be used to practice writing their names. Alphabet cones will be the fun material for learning both uppercase and lowercase letters. Tactile alphabet match-up will be used to reinforce letter sound association skills. Lowercase dough stampers will be used to spell out their and their peers' names during play dough activity. Translucent letters will be used during the Light unit.

I would truly appreciate it if you could help me with this project. Any kind of help will be truly appreciated.

Thank you!!!
