My Students

I work in extremely high poverty school with free lunch and breakfast for all of the students in my school. My students never fail to amaze me. They rise to any challenges; they face and teach me new things every day.

I have a large group of kindergartners ready to blossom as readers, writers, and mathematicians.

School is a fun and safe place for my students, and it is my job to make sure they want to come to my class and have what they need to be successful. I need to make sure my students are safe.

My Project

I need materials to use on our new light table. This project has sensory items that students can use for learning and fun. I will hide letters, numbers, and pictures inside the sensory beads and the students will pick them out to practice. These materials will be used daily during stations and will quickly become a favorite spot in the room for my students.

These materials include math numbers, patterns, letters and so much more.

This is perfect for my young learners and will be engaging for them to use in many fun ways.
