My Project

I am a Pre-k Teacher to 20 students ready to learn. To help these students succeed in kindergarten they need to leave me recognizing and writing the alphabet. Pre-K is proven to I want them to love school and not dread coming to class.

My goal is to make learning the alphabet fun and engaging.

With these tools I will be able to create fun task cards, alphabet sensory bins, a morning meeting that involves a letter each day, and have a reusable alphabet book for each student in my classroom. I appreciate any donations to this project.
