My students need file folders so they can have their own mini offices and, also notebooks to make interactive journals from. They also need folders and boxes to make STEM boxes for them.
My students are just beginning their learning process, so I want their experiences to be something they can enjoy, internalize, and that is instilled in them for the future! It is my goal to provide these experiences to them, but, it is difficult to provide these experiences without appropriate materials.
I'm so proud of my students and their desire for learning!
We are a low socioeconomic school, but we prefer to think of ourselves as being able to give our students a family-oriented environment full of lifelong learning experiences.
My Project
Kindergarten mini offices are one of the best teaching tools that I have ever come across. I wish you could see their faces the first time I present their mini offices to them. I love them for many reasons: They have their names, hundreds charts, coins, left, right, words, and other concepts we will be using throughout the year. It also helps them with their privacy! They use them during their journal time and throughout the day.
Literally, it's the gift that keeps on giving day after day, all year long, and they refer to them fifty times a day.
It takes a lot of time to make them, but they are worth it, and, they absolutely love them, Best of all, they are used all year, everyday! I combine three of them together, tape them, put all the info on and then laminate. My kindergarten kids adore them!!! The notebooks are for journals and interactive journals. They will cut, paste, and put their info in them and refer to it to help them review. The folders will be used for them to take home every day. The boxes are to make STEM boxes from, which they always love and adore. The snowflake toys go great with stem and will make a lot of boxes. We will use them all everyday! These are literally gifts that keep on giving throughout the year.
