My students need a variety of different items to help us learn to read. We need stools for our reading table, paint brushes, magnetic letters, and childproof headphones.
I have the privilege of working with some amazing, creative children every day. Many of my students grow up in households with parents that work multiple jobs. Many of these children see and are responsible for more in their day to day life than they should at such a young age. Seeing their bright and enthusiastic smiles every morning proves to me that I am in the right field and the least I can do for them is to make learning fun and to provide a safe environment for a few hours a day.
We fail together, make mistakes together, but most of all we learn and grow together.
I try to not only teach my students reading, math, social studies, and science, but also life lessons, as well. The first thing they learn from me is that we are a family no matter what. This teaches them to be empathetic and it is amazing to watch them cheer each other on at all stages of their learning!
My Project
My classroom is lacking a few basic supplies that could really help our classroom and my students thrive. We are in need of stools for our small group reading table along with magnetic letters. These letters will help my kindergarteners learn to read and write. They begin to learn to read by stretching out three letter words and listening to the sounds they hear. These letters will allow my students to begin to do that and then move on to manipulating letters and sounds in words. Lastly, we need new headphones for our listening center.
All of these new supplies will bring our reading block to the next level and in turn help my students learn to read!
Kindergarten is a big year of growth for my students and you have the chance to make a difference in their lives and help them grow as well.
