"If you can dream it, you can do it." is a philosophy that the learners in my classroom leave with. When they first come to my kindergarten classroom, some of them come with no educational background. They know zero letters, no numbers and they may not even be able to write their own name. We spend time together as a class, building an environment where it is encouraged to take chances, explore, and make mistakes. They will be the first to tell you that making mistakes just means you're learning.
Kindergarten students are natural thinkers and problem solvers when we, as teachers, allow them to be.
My Project
As with many other things, recess will look different this school year. We are going through chalk like crazy at recess. Students are being creative and being active.
We need to make sure we adhere to guidelines and health and safety protocol while promoting learning in our classrooms.
Having these bins in my class will assure us that we will each have our own bins for our own supplies.
All children at this age group absolutely love hands-on learning and these stamps are perfect for their little hands. The stamps will help them build words and eventually sentences. They will be able to use different strategies and materials with these stamps.
