Responsive Reading and Engaged Learning
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My kindergarteners from Los Angeles are going to be brand new to elementary school next year! The year will be an exciting time for students to learn to read, write, count, add, work with others and much more!! It is going to be a year full of growth and fun!
Kindergarteners come to school with excitement and an immense readiness to learn! I can't wait to see all they accomplish this year and hope they finish the year with a love for learning.
My Project
As a first year teacher, I am building my classroom from the ground up! Teaching kindergarteners, I want to be sure I keep all of our learning activities engaging and exciting.
They will be learning how to read, write, count, add and subtract this year! I want to have books that my students can see themselves in and connect with to feel that school is a place centered around them and their identities. I also have added math and literacy games to help my students build their understanding of letters and numbers through engaging, hands on activities. Finally, I have included First Little Reader book packs, so my students can have a plethora of books to read at their level.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
