Playing With Literacy Centers!

My students need centers to keep them actively engaged as they learn through play and socialization. Kindergartners love to play, and what better way than through literacy centers to help them learn to read!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spano's classroom raised $685

My Students

I have the joy of teaching in an ICT kindergarten class, at a Title I school. My students are an enthusiastic bunch who are inquisitive, eager to learn, and work very hard! My school and classroom serves a racially, ethnically, religiously, and socioeconomically diverse population.

The future starts in my class!

My classroom is always working on building community. Students learn to share, communicate and respect one another in my classroom. As I guide these students toward becoming successful community leaders, I am preparing them for their future. Students will need to read, write,and solve problems.

For kindergarten, playtime is a thing of the past and in order for them to develop the socialization skills needed to communicate, and share they need to be able to have some time to engage and play with each other.

My Project

A Kindergartner’s attention span is about 5-6 minutes, which is incredibly short! That means that we need to try to minimize whole group sitting and listening time. In turn, we need to maximize hands-on, independent learning time. Having students work in centers gives them important independent practice time, and it also allows us to give children more individualized attention as they meet with us in small groups. These Centers are a great way to get students actively involved in their learning. These materials will provide my students the opportunity to work on phonics, sight words, letters, writing and reading all while playing and interacting with each other and working in small groups.
