My Project

These materials will enrich my literacy centers. The students will be able to have multiple choices as they continue on the journey of learning to read.

Kindergarten students are motivated to engage in literacy centers when they have hands on materials to manipulate.

This decreases the amount of worksheets that the kids are using, and promotes learning. It allows kindergarten students to communicate and work with their peers, which supports social emotional learning as well.

The materials will add to my collection and allow my my students more choices during our Daily 5 centers.
